GET MORE PROTEIN IN YOUR DIET

1) Search for higher protein options of foods you’re already eating.

*Sub pasta for a lentil-based pasta
*Sub yogurt for Greek yogurt
*Switch out peas or green beans with edamame
*Add chickpeas to salads or even smoothies
*Sub rice for quinoa
*Use Kodiak Cakes pancake and waffle mix instead of standard mix

2) Add a scoop of flavored protein powder to oats, smoothies, or yogurt. Add a scoop of unflavored protein powder to chilis, soups, or other liquid-based recipes

3) Incorporate deli meat into your lunch recipes. Roll-ups, pinwheels, wraps, and sandwiches are perfect combinations for fiber, carbs, and protein. Add a ton of veggies for extra flavor like red onions, lettuce or greens, cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, etc.

4) If you eat dairy, string cheese is a great snack on the go, and cottage cheese also has protein content.

5) Eggs are versatile, delish, and filling. Scramble, hard boil, poach, or take ’em over easy for savory adds to any meal or snack.
