5 Easy Ways To Increase Your Protein

You’ve heard it many times before that you need to eat more protein but how do you get it in you increase it in your everyday foods? Here are 5 simple ways how:

1. LSA = Linseed, sunflower seeds, and almonds all ground up. It contains protein (2g per tbls), fibre, magnesium, omega-3 ‘s vitamins E, D, B’s, calcium, phosphorous, potassium, zinc and more.  Add it to oats, muesli, sprinkle it on toast or pop it into a smoothie.

2. Eggs = high in protein & essential nutrients  a large whole egg contains roughly 6g of protein, and contains choline, zeaxanthin lutein , as well as just about every vitamin and most minerals (except vitamin C). Have a boiled egg as  snack, add it raw to your smoothie, and add boiled egg to your salads.

3. Whey protein powder: a good quality whey protein powder is easy to add to your diet by: adding it to porridge, smoothies, baking (basically your imagination is your limitation especially when it is unflavoured) Boomers is my favourite & you can find it here :http://bit.ly/1d4Mdh2 

4. Nuts/Seeds: adding nuts/seeds to every day snacks is easy ie: apple & almonds, yoghurt with chia seeds, garden salad & pine nuts, Greek salad with sunflower seeds (again your imagination is your limitation)

5. Beans (edamame beans, pinto, kidney, black, garbanzo, navy – just to name a few,): packed full of dietary fibre & about 40g protein per cup adding beans into your daily intake is simple. They are high in thiamine, folate, vitamin B6, niacin, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, zinc and manganese. Add them to salads (ie: chickpea, edemame, capcscium corn, onion quinoa), add them to mince dishes, casseroles and stir fry’s.
