You already know how important protein is for weight loss, and if you have a Trader Joe's trip planned this week, you should know that they have some of the best high-protein snacks that you can eat to hit your weight loss goals. Click through the slideshow to find out which Trader Joe's gems MUST be in your cart.
Trader Joe's Raw Almonds
Nuts are a great high-protein snack for weight loss, and almonds and pistachios have more protein than other nuts. Just make sure you count them out (a serving is about 23 almonds) so you don't over-do it.
Trader Joe's Beef Jerky
Natural jerky is a low-calorie, high-protein snack option we love. It's chewy so you have to take your time eating it. One serving has 11g of protein!
Trader Joe's Raw Pumpkin Seeds
Pumpkin seeds are high in protein, fiber and zinc (great for your immunity!). A serving contains about 8 grams of protein and are very filling.
Trader Joe's Deli Meats
Deli meat roll-ups are a healthy, high-protein snack for weight loss. Roll them alone, with veggies like cucumber, or with low-cal cheese options like Swiss.
