Protein keeps you full. Fibre keeps you regular. Put them together and the 3pm slump doesn't stand a chance.
W
hen the day gets busy, snacks get beige. A muesli bar here, a handful of crackers there, and by mid-afternoon you're hungry, sluggish and reaching for something sweet.
The fix is simple: build every snack around protein plus fibre. Protein helps you feel full. Fibre slows things down, supports digestion and keeps you regular. Most snack foods only give you one, if that.
6 high fibre, high protein snacks
Each of these takes under five minutes. Fibre and protein amounts vary with brands and portions.
- Berry Greek yoghurt bowl. A cup of high-protein Greek yoghurt, a handful of berries and a sprinkle of nuts or seeds. Stir through a teaspoon of Pro Gut+ for a berry swirl and an extra 4g of fibre.
- The 60-second protein smoothie. Your protein powder, a frozen banana, milk of choice, a spoon of nut butter and one heaped teaspoon of Pro Gut+. Blend and go.
- Overnight oats. Rolled oats, chia seeds, protein powder or Greek yoghurt and milk, left in the fridge overnight. Oats and chia already bring fibre, and Pro Gut+ adds prebiotic fibre that feeds your gut flora.
- Hummus and crunchy veg. Chickpeas bring both protein and fibre. Pair a few tablespoons of hummus with carrot, capsicum and cucumber sticks, plus a boiled egg if you need more staying power.
- Roasted chickpeas or edamame. A pre-roasted batch of chickpeas or a bowl of steamed edamame is a desk-drawer winner: high in plant protein, high in fibre and easy to portion.
- Cottage cheese on wholegrain crackers. Cottage cheese is a quiet protein hero. Pile it onto wholegrain or seeded crackers and top with tomato and cracked pepper.
★★★★★ "Blends really well into my protein shake. Adds a very subtle berry taste. Has helped with keeping my tummy happy." - Renee O.
The shortcut for busy days
Let's be honest: some days you won't have time to roast chickpeas. That's where Pro Gut+ comes in. One heaped teaspoon (7g) stirs into the protein snack you already have, whether that's a shake, yoghurt or oats, and adds:
- 4.1g of dietary fibre, 4g of it prebiotic, from green banana resistant starch, organic inulin and Sunfiber® PHGG
- 1 billion CFU of probiotic to help your gut flora balance
- Only 23 calories and 0.3g of sugar
- A natural berry flavour, sweetened with monk fruit
- No dairy, soy or gluten
It helps digestion, helps reduce bloating and promotes regularity, without changing what you already eat.
