Best Protein Snacks for a Busy Lifestyle

This post is sponsored by Lorissa’s Kitchen, but all opinions are my own.

Our family loves to stay busy and active. Having five kids, everyone has their own personal schedule that stays pretty full. When the teens aren’t busy with their extracurricular activities then you will find us headed out on an adventure. I often joke about the only time I’m home is when I’m working from my home office or working on a home project.

Kayaking is a top favorite activity for our family. Although we love to travel, kayaking is something we are able to do as a way to getaway without going too far from home. We have several lakes near our home in the Dallas/Fort Worth area that we switch between visiting. I find kayaking to be extremely peaceful and the perfect escape after a long week at work. The guys love to fish, so it is a win win for our family.

When packing up our kayaks for a trip to the lake, we always pack snacks. Even if we eat breakfast before leaving home and only kayak for a few short hours, everyone needs a snack while we are gone. I know my kids aren’t the only ones that say “I’m hungry” within an hour or two of eating. Lorissa’s Kitchen is the perfect protein snack to provide that extra energy we need when kayaking back to the dock after a morning at the lake.

Made with 100% grass-fed beef and naturally gluten-free, the are the perfect snack solution. They taste so good that everyone fights to have their own bag. There are 9g of protein per serving which gives us the fuel we need between meals.

The convenient, individual packaged beef sticks are another great option that I toss into our snack bag and in each person’s kayak. Moms can feel confident giving their kids the knowing there is no MSG and the beef was raised without added hormones or antibiotics.

I pack these real snack solutions for my kids’ busy school schedules. With my son having band practice and sports, it is an easy way to provide some extra protein for mid-day. 

How do you keep your kids fueled during a busy weekday schedule?

You can order or add to your Prime Pantry order. I love how I was able to get our snacks delivered to my door without the hassle of leaving home for the same low price.
