Cold Finger food suggestions

You survived what you thought would kill you. Now straighten your crown and go forward like the Queen you are!
I ate a lot of deviled eggs early out - Tasty and high in protein. I also had lots of tuna salad and chicken salad - though they aren't so much "finger foods"
best wishes,
Carol

I love the Costco roast chicken because it is moist. To make it a finger food, wrap a piece in a lettuce leaf. I buy the lettuce pre-washed and cleaned into whole leaves. If it is still too dry, add a little sauce of some kind.
Baby Bel Light cheese (I like mine with Special K crackers, but skip crackers if you are sensitive to carbs)
Beef Jerky
Whole green beans or other veggies with dip made from fat free plain greek yogurt and ranch dressing mix
Fat free greek yogurt mixed with Splenda in a to-go cup with lid (not a finger food, but so good)
Edamame (watch how much you eat of these - they are calorie dense for the amount of protein you get)
Boiled shrimp. I like the ones from Costco that are cleaned with the tails on. They come in the freezer section. I buy the raw ones and boil them myself.

Greek Yogurt, cheese sticks, lettuce wraps (taco meat and cheese, tuna, egg salad, turkey, cheese, so many options. I buy the Romain bunches and use those leaves, perfect. Wash the whole head, dry and then wrap in white paper towel and store in container or zip lock in fridge to use when needed), celery with nut butters or laughing cow cheese, beef sticks, cottage cheese, cucumbers with hummus, pea pods and hummus, hard boiled eggs, I like cold Italian sausage stir fry, cold chicken salads using baby spinach, afternoon treat of Syntax Cappuccino protein drink... YUM.
Have fun on the new phase!

“Not many of us are living at our best. We linger in the lowlands because we are afraid to climb the mountains. The steepness and ruggedness dismay us, and so we stay in the misty valleys and do not learn the mystery of the hills. We do not know what we lose in our self indulgence. What glory awaits us if only we had the courage for the mountain climb. What blessing we should find if only we would move to the uplands of God.? JRM
