Snacking is awesome, but not all snacks are created equal.

A bag of chips is delicious, but it probably won't actually tide you over until your next meal. That's where protein comes in. Protein keeps you fuller longer since it takes a while to digest and keeps your blood sugar levels stable, so you won't be tired and hungry again in like five minutes, explains Abby Langer, a Toronto-based registered dietician.

Here are some super easy, healthy options with at least 10 grams of protein. Never be hangry again.
