3. Hard-Boiled Eggs
Hard-boiled eggs are an excellent source of protein, healthy fats, and vitamins. They’re easy to make in bulk, and you can keep them in the fridge for up to a week.

Pro tip: Boil a dozen eggs at the start of the week and store them in the fridge for a quick snack or protein boost whenever needed.

4. Nut Butter with Apple or Banana
Nut butters (such as almond or peanut butter) provide healthy fats and protein, and when paired with fruit like apple or banana slices, you get a satisfying balance of fiber, vitamins, and minerals.

Pro tip: Pre-slice apples or bananas and store them in containers with a small portion of nut butter for easy dipping.
