How to increase protein intake?

One of the biggest challenges that I have is eating protein. I absolutely would rather eat more carbs and fats than protein so instead of trying the keto diet forever (high fat, low carb, moderate protein), I began to wonder if there is a better way to get protein in. The solution was surprisingly not that hard to figure out.

I know you are probably like we are all told to eat about 0.8g of protein per kg of bodyweight but if you don’t like eating protein, how the heck do you get that much in? One of my solutions was to find milk or alternative milk that high protein in it. I now drink this almond milk that has 10g of protein per serving. It tastes great and can be easily mixed into oatmeal or smoothie. That brings me to having a smoothie a day with the same milk and adding a protein powder and collagen powder to it. That gets me really quickly to a lot of the protein that I need per my bodyweight. The other ways to get protein in during the day is either having a ready to drink shake or eating a meal with chicken or chickpeas or lentils. Every little bit helps to help you meet your goals. Is it easy to do? Absolutely not. Can it be done? Yes, with a little planning. Give it a shot! Start small and you’ll be surprised to see the results.

Stay well!
