Easy, high-protein recipes with what's already in your cupboard.
At Beside the Mountain, I get it. You need snacks that are fast, made with real ingredients, and - most importantly - ones you feel good about handing to your kids.
Tired of hangry kids or sugary crashes? Me too. That's why I'm sharing our favorite high-protein snack recipes - wholesome, satisfying, no weird stuff - and no hours in the kitchen (or mile-long grocery lists) required.
Protein Snacks
These are snacks with 5 grams of protein or (usually) more per serving. I would start with these yummy no-bake cookie dough bars, egg bites, and these chewy oat banana protein bars!
Healthy Muffins
Looking for a wholesome muffin recipe? You will find delicious whole wheat muffins, my family's favorite fruit muffins, pineapple oatmeal muffins, and some sweetened with less sugar, or honey too.

Banana Recipes
We often have bananas with brown spots slowly becoming overripe in our fruit bowl. These are my family's favourite recipes with bananas.
- Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Banana Chocolate Balls
- Banana Oat Protein Bars
- Jumbo Breakfast Cookies
Healthy Baking
Soft and moist muffins, chewy cookies, granola bars, and crackers, all full of flavor! When I create these recipes, I'm thinking about how I can lower the sugar, add nutrition-dense ingredients (like seeds or whole wheat flour), and still make it delicious.
- Lemon Blueberry Loaf (Healthy)
- Monster Cookies without Peanut Butter
- Honey Chocolate Chip Cookies
- High-Protein Crackers
