High-Protein Meals

It’s Day 4 of our Challenge! You’re crushing it, team protein! Before we wrap up tomorrow, I want to give you more tips and meal ideas to keep your momentum going after the Challenge. ✨

How to Make Protein a Habit

• Stock up weekly. Keep things easy and interesting by loading up on a variety of protein-packed foods, such as poultry, fish, tofu, beans, legumes, eggs, and nuts. 
• Start each day right. If you begin the day with a protein-packed meal, you’re less likely to get hungry and have cravings that throw you off course.
• Build your meals around large protein portions. Make protein the main event and create each meal and snack around it. 
• Keep protein-rich snacks on hand. If you keep protein snacks with you, you’ll always be ready to prevent hangry cravings.
• Simplify with sheet pan meals. Sheet pan recipes make high-protein cooking easy. Look for recipes that are packed with protein––or just bump up the protein amount in the recipe. I’ve included a great sheet pan recipe here! 😋
  

MEAL IDEAS ✨

You have your Meal Plans from Day 1, but how about more ideas to help you hit your daily 100g? 🍽️

Mix-n-Match: Protein + Healthy Carb + Veggies

A simple way to create a high-protein meal is to start with a hearty portion of protein, pair it with a whole grain or root vegetable, and add as many veggies as you like. For example:

• Salmon + sweet potato + steamed broccoli
• Grilled chicken + quinoa + roasted vegetables
• Stir-fried tofu + brown rice + mixed veggies

Other High-Protein Meals (recipes below)

• Ground Turkey Lettuce Wraps with Avocado

High-Protein Breakfasts

You’ve got your 5-Day High-Protein Breakfasts Plan, but let’s talk more about good breakfast ideas.

I’m always looking to simplify breakfasts so I can get a jump on my day. These options are my go-to:

• Greek yogurt + berries: 1 scoop Life Shake, 1.5 cups Greek yogurt, 2 strawberries
• Egg scramble + veggies + cheese: 3 eggs scrambled, ¼ cup sauteed veggies, 2 Tbsp cheese
• Life Shake^™: Life Shake blended with a handful of spinach and 1/2 banana––or any of these yummy Protein Shake Recipes!

Life Shake recipes are such a quick, versatile way to create a protein-packed breakfast. They’re wholesome, low in sugar, and satisfying. 

What’s your favorite high-protein breakfast or Life Shake recipe? 

Boost Protein intake with Collagen

Has it been easy or hard to reach 100g of protein each day? If you’ve been struggling, let me know in the comments––we’ll troubleshoot together!

💡 Let’s talk about an easy way to boost your protein intake: Collagen.
Did you know that our Collagen-9™ adds a powerful 10g of protein to your day? That’s nearly the same as eating 1.5 eggs or 2.5 ounces of chicken! Just stir it into your morning coffee, tea, or smoothie for a seamless, delicious way to sneak in extra protein without the extra effort.

🌟 Why Collagen Matters:
Not only does collagen count as protein, but it also supports healthy skin, hair, nails, and joints––a win-win for your body.^* And because protein is crucial for building muscle, repairing tissues, and supporting metabolism, having collagen in your daily routine can make a huge difference.

🌟 Pro Tip: Kickstart your morning with Collagen-9™ in your coffee or tea and watch your protein goals feel so much easier to hit!
