Do you struggle with protein like I used to?
Because for the longest time, I knew I needed more protein… but actually hitting it felt overwhelming, boring, or time-consuming.
Here are 3 simple protein hacks that have made a huge difference for me:
🥣 1️⃣ Add Protein to Your Yogurt (Game Changer)
One of my friends shared this tip with me earlier this year, and I was honestly surprised by two things:
• how easy it was to mix in protein without changing the texture much
• how good it tasted
I love mixing protein powder right into my yogurt and then having fun with toppings. In this bowl, I added some crunchy toppings and frozen blueberries and strawberries that I quickly defrosted in the microwave. They turned into a little natural “jelly” on top and it was SO good. Simple, filling, and not boring.
🍳 2️⃣ Build Protein First, Then Add the Fun Stuff
Instead of trying to “fix” a meal later, I now start by asking:
Where’s the protein?
Whether it’s eggs, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, chicken, or beef—anchor the meal with protein first, then layer in carbs, fats, and flavor.
⏱️ 3️⃣ Keep It Simple & Repeatable
Not every meal needs to be fancy. The meals that actually work are the ones you can repeat on busy days. Find 2–3 easy protein go-to’s and rotate them instead of constantly reinventing the wheel.
✅ Best Practices That Help:
• Aim for protein at every meal
• Don’t wait until dinner to “catch up”
• Use shortcuts (pre-cooked proteins, protein powders, simple bowls)
