Protein Rich Recipes

Protein is an important nutrient found in foods. It is essential for children’s muscles and bones as they grow and for keeping adults’ muscles and bones healthy throughout life.

Getting enough protein in our diets is vital, as it can build, repair, oxygenate, digest and regulate, making it super important for overall health. That’s why many people want to follow high-protein recipes as part of a high-protein diet, of course.

Protein-rich foods include:

• Fish dishes
• Skinless, white-meat poultry
• Lean beef
• Skimmed or low-fat milk
• Yoghurt
• Cheese
• Eggs
• Legumes
• Tree nuts
• Guava

You should consider all of the above foods and more when looking to eat a high-protein diet. According to the Mayo Clinic Health System, anywhere between 10% to 35% of your calories should come from protein.

Luckily, eating a high-protein diet has never been easier thanks to HelloFresh’s flexible recipe delivery service, which contains numerous high protein foods and ingredients.

It is a common misconception that high-protein meals must contain some sort of meat. In fact, there are many ways vegetarians and vegans can easily increase their protein intake, as these high-protein vegetarian meals make clear.

So, whether you prefer meat recipes, vegetarian or vegan, adding more foods high in protein to your meals doesn’t have to be a challenge. Follow these simple tips and make maintaining a high-protein diet a way of life.

How to get more protein into your diet

• Have a protein shake for breakfast.
• Choose high-protein snacks, such as cheese or almonds.
• Replace cereal or toast with eggs for a high-protein breakfast.
• Add almonds to meals: Almonds contain 6g of protein per 28g serving, which makes them a better source of protein than most other nuts.
• Choose a high-protein meal provider, such as HelloFresh, to ensure high-protein foods and recipes are ready to go in the kitchen when you need them.
