150G PROTEIN IN A DAY!

Everything I ate in a day to hit my protein goals :)

If you’re in your protein packed era and are looking for new meal ideas… this post is here to help you! Eating in a protein forward way is great for your muscle growth, hair health, skin glow, nails, energy levels and hormone balance, and I feel like a lot of people struggle with knowing how to actually get to 100G/day, so hopefully this will help you find some new recipe inspiration.

My big philosophy with food is:

1. Make it easy - If it’s easy, you’ll be more likely to stick with the habit and develop consistency

2. Make it delicious - It’s way easier to be consistent when the food you eat actually is enjoyable to eat.

3. Make it balanced with protein, healthy fats, and fiber – this helps balance your blood sugar and make sure you stay energized for hours and rely less on constant snacking (which isn’t great for your overall digestion and gut health!)

The meals included are:

• Pre-Workout Snack (12G PROTEIN)

• Simple Cafecito! (7G PROTEIN)

• Post Workout Shake (~14G PROTEIN)

• Banana Chocolate Chip Baked Oats (34G PROTEIN)

• Tzatziki + Turkey Meatball Bowl (36G PROTEIN)

• Crispy Ground Beef Oven Baked Tacos with Creamy Cilantro Dip (53G PROTEIN)

• TOTAL = 156G PROTEIN!
