Spooky high protein snacks for Halloween
Mummified Meatballs
Wrap lean turkey or chicken meatballs in thin strips of low-fat mozzarella cheese to create cute little mummies.
Bake them until the cheese is melted and slightly golden. Add eyes using black olives and serve with high-protein tomato and oregano sauce.
Jack O Lantern Stuffed Peppers
Carve orange peppers to resemble jack-o-lanterns, then fill them with lean turkey mince, quinoa, black beans, and your favourite herbs and spices.
Bake the peppers until tender, and the filling is piping hot. Packed with protein and fibre, these grinning ghouls will make a satisfying and nutritious Halloween treat.
Witch’s Finger Protein Bars
Combine protein powder, almond flour, and peanut butter, then mould the mixture into finger-like shapes. Add some sliced almond “fingernails” and use a knife to make indentations for the knuckles.
These no-bake bars are ideal for a quick protein boost during your Halloween party!
Witch’s Broomsticks
For a savoury snack, make these tasty broomsticks using string cheese and pretzel sticks.
Cut the cheese into a triangular shape at one end so it resembles the broom’s bristles, then pop the pretzel stick into the other end.
Spider Web Hummus Dip
Hummus is an excellent source of plant-based protein, so it’s great if you’re following a vegan diet plan. And it’s easy to transform into a spooky Halloween dip!
All you need to do is spread a layer of hummus on a platter and use a squeeze bottle filled with olive oil to add a spider web design.
Add a few olive “spiders” on the web, and serve the dip with colourful crudites.
Monster Protein Balls
Combine rolled oats and protein powder, then add peanut butter, honey, and a few chocolate chips.
Roll the balls in crushed nuts or coconut flakes to make them look furry. You can add edible eyes to bring your little monsters to life!
Spider Web Devilled Eggs
Prepare devilled eggs using Greek yoghurt instead of mayonnaise for an extra protein punch. Use food colouring to make the filling black, then pipe it onto the egg white halves.
Use a small amount of plain Greek yoghurt to make spider web designs on the top. Place a black olive “spider” in the middle for extra creepiness!
Vampire Bite Apple Snacks
Core and slice some apples into wedges. Spread on some peanut butter, then insert a few almond slices for the fangs. Add a few drops of red food colouring to create a bloody illusion.
These treats prove nutritious food can be just as exciting (and delicious!) as traditional Halloween sweets. So go ahead and indulge in these protein-packed snacks - they’re so good, it’s scary!
