| My teen's doctor said they need to lose weight due to a health concerns. We spent over $100 on snacks and cereals from Whole Foods that were really not tasty. Looking for any suggestions of foods high in protein and low in sugar.... |

Don't give them crap, processed "high protein" foods. They're still young enough that you can influence their eating habits.
Cheese, nuts, nut and seed butters, greek yogurt, grilled chicken. make a big pot of stew with tons of veggies, beans, and turkey or chicken. |

+1 unless she’s playing a physically intense sport, no need for snacks. If necessary, a piece of fruit after school with a small handful of nuts would be healthier than any processed junk. |

| I like plain Greek yogurt with Trader Joe’s green goddess seasoning as a decadent dip for veggies. Good luck to your child! |

This is a great idea. Green goddess sauce is easy to make in the food processor. Also — I make salads with tons of romaine, original vegan boca burgers (70 calories, 13 G protein), 2 eggs, apples and a little garlic expressions dressing from Whole Foods. Under 450 calls and a huge, high protein meal. |

Cereals are not good, even the healthy ones. Skip them entirely. Problem solved. Start cooking real meals. |

Various jerkies. Sadly the delicious Tanka Bar is gone leaving only those lying jerks at Epic.
Cheese Veggies with a high protein dip (cottage cheese in lieu of part of the mayo, for example) Nuts and nut butters Brama beans are good but an acquired taste a bit. |

I would argue against nuts and cheese. Too much fat.
Easy, quick protein in Oikos protein yogurt, Jerky. Easy protein muffins: Coat pan coconut oil 1/4 c rolled oats Few banana slices 8-10 blueberries (frozen) Cinnamon Chia seeds Mix lightly then pour in egg white till it soaks in and covers. Bake 350 for 20 minutes. Very filling. |

Eat clean and supplement with protein powder. Huel makes some great tasting options.
If it comes it a box or a bottle, 99.9% chance they don’t need it. |
