10 Ways To Up Your Protein

Make sure you have some protein at each meal, whether that’s animal or plant based.

Broaden your protein shopping list to include spinach, almonds, Greek yogurt, hummus and legumes which are often overlooked.

Use some of the “clean” protein powders to add into morning smoothies.

Create your own protein bars at home that you can have as easy fuel after a workout.

Quality over quantity – make sure that your meats and eggs are organic and free range.

Include plant based proteins such as spirulina, nuts, seeds and quinoa.

Your best flat-belly bets are skinless white chicken or turkey, seafood, low-fat dairy, pork tenderloin, and lean beef.

Vegetarians can incorporate peanut butter on whole-wheat bread, or brown rice and beans, tofu, hemp seed and buckwheat.

Snack on sunflower seeds, chickpeas, edamame beans, and unsalted peanuts.

Cook a batch of chicken or turkey at the weekend and add it to meals throughout the week for a quick protein hit.
