Yes, not only have you asked for more healthy high protein snacks, but you also asked how to make canned tuna taste good.
So I’m going combine those two topics, and show you how to make a healthy high protein snack, like canned tuna, taste delicious.
This tuna salad recipe will literally take you less than 3 minutes to prepare, and you can make it in bulk, store it in the fridge for a quick snack, or eat it on the run.
What is the healthiest kind of canned tuna to buy?
Here’s a little insight into how to decide which is the healthiest kind of canned tuna to buy.
First thing to look at when comparing brands of tuna is the ingredients.
Brand #1: Canned tuna ingredients:
Tuna
Vegetable broth
Soy oil
Salt
Disodium phosphate
Also contains soy.
Brand #2: Canned tuna ingredients:
Tuna
Water
Salt
Obviously canned tuna option #2.
Now that we have selected the healthiest canned tuna, lets make this tasty sun dried tuna salad recipe for weight loss.
For this tuna salad recipe for weight loss, I used the whole can of tuna for one serving.
This would be the equivalent of one high protein meal.
However, if you’re only looking for a small high protein snack, you can half this recipe, or prepare it as two servings.
Regardless, it’ll give you a great serving of protein.

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Add the sun dried tomatoes, garlic, parsley, black pepper, sea salt, and extra virgin olive oil to a food processor or blender. If you don’t have access to a food processor or a blender, simply dice up these ingredients with a knife.
2. Turn the food processor on until all the ingredients are chopped.
3. Optional: add the tuna to a strainer and rinse under water to remove some of the salt.
4. Add the tuna to a bowl, then top with the flavorful sun dried tomato mixture.

This quick, high protein tuna salad recipe for weight is delicious and has lots of flavor in it, and it only took us approximately 3 minutes to prepare.
You can take this tuna salad for lunch with you at the office. You can also have it for a quick dinner or even breakfast. It’s also perfect for the person on the go as you can take it anywhere with you while traveling.
There are no more excuses as to why you can’t add more protein to your diet.
If you don’t normally like the taste of tuna because of it’s fishy taste, the flavors overpower the taste of the tuna, so it really doesn’t even taste like fish.
If you don’t like the taste of sun dried tomatoes, replace it with salsa or dijon mustard.
Both of those healthy condiments go really well with tuna.
