How to Add Protein to Your Meals

Protein is essential to our diet, supporting muscle growth and repair, hormone and enzyme production, bone health, and much more. Here are some simple ways to increase your protein intake:

• Switch to High-Protein Bread: Opt for bread varieties like Dave’s Bread that offer more protein.
• Enhance Sauces: Add meat to sauces while cooking.
• Boost Breakfast: Include egg whites in your morning routine.
• Choose High-Protein Dairy: Eat more cheese, especially cottage cheese, and switch to Greek yogurt.
• Opt for Full-Fat Dairy Milk: Use full-fat dairy milk for higher protein content.
• Swap Grains: Replace regular rice with protein-rich quinoa or barley. 
• Incorporate Nut Butters: Spread almond or peanut butter on vegetables like celery.
• Eat Seeds/Nuts in Abundance: For such small foods, seeds and nuts are protein and healthy fat rich.  

Making protein more accessible in your daily meals can significantly enhance your diet. For more information on the importance of protein and other nutrient-dense foods, check out our nutrient dense meals guide.
