Who doesn’t love a good Costco haul?
As a busy mom, having quick, protein-packed snacks on hand is a game-changer. Whether you need a grab-and-go bite between errands or something to keep you full between meals, Costco has some amazing options that make it easy to fuel well. Here are my top high-protein Costco snack picks that pass my ingredient and taste preferences!
1. Chomps Beef Sticks 🥩
Protein: 9g per stick
Why I Love It: These grass-fed beef sticks are a super convenient way to get protein on the go. They’re made with simple ingredients, free from added sugars, and have a great smoky flavor. Perfect for throwing in your bag for a quick snack!
👉 How to Enjoy: Keep them in your car, diaper bag, or purse for an easy, mess-free protein boost.
2. Chimichurri Beef Sticks 🌿🥩
Protein: 9g per stick
Why I Love It: These are like Chomps but with an herby, flavorful chimichurri twist. They have a slightly tangy, garlicky taste that makes them stand out. If you want a little more variety in your protein snacks, these are a must-try!
👉 How to Enjoy: Pair with an apple or cutie for balanced energy!
3. Peanut Butter Perfect Bars 🥜
Protein: 17g per bar
Why I Love It: These bars are a delicious blend of peanut butter, honey, and whole food ingredients. They taste like a treat but pack in real protein from nuts and whole food sources. Plus, they have a creamy, satisfying texture!
👉 How to Enjoy: Keep them in the fridge for a chilled, chewy snack. Pair with a coffee for an afternoon energy boost. I love these when I need a more filling snack if I know a meal is going to get pushed until later.
4. Bare Bones Instant Bone Borth Powder 🍲
Protein: ~10g per serving
Why I Love It: Bone broth is a super nourishing, protein-rich drink that also supports gut health and immunity. The instant powder mix makes it so easy to get the benefits of bone broth without having to simmer a pot for hours.
👉 How to Enjoy: Just mix with hot water for a cozy, savory drink. It’s perfect for sipping in the afternoon or using as a base for soups. I personally love it when I wake up early in the morning and don’t feel quite ready for breakfast or coffee yet!
5. Kirkland Greek Yogurt 🍦
Protein: 18g per serving
Why I Love It: This Greek yogurt is thick, creamy, and packed with protein. It’s unsweetened, which makes it super versatile—you can go sweet with fruit and honey or turn it into a savory dip with herbs and spices.
👉 How to Enjoy: Add some granola and berries for a high-protein breakfast, or mix in some peanut butter and cacao nibs for a healthy dessert. We love making smoothies with it at our house!
Having quick, high-protein snacks on hand makes it so much easier to stay energized and balanced throughout the day. Whether you're reaching for beef sticks or a Perfect Bar, these Costco finds make staying fueled as a mom so much easier!
