A couple of my clients have mentioned how hard it is to reach their protein goals, I have days when I find it harder too. When you look at the food you eat in a day, do you base snacks around carbs – try adding in some protein too and you should find it easier to hit your target.
One of the ways I do it, is by adding in protein shakes (using almond milk also helps me hit my calcium goal too). Not every day, but sometimes when I am on the go, they are an easy option. Here are some other ideas….
And if, like me, you want a sweet fix, here’s a healthier alternative to pud!
Chia chocolate mousse (ish)
2tbsp of each – chia seeds, agave/maple syrup & cocoa powder
1/2 cup of unsweetened almond milk (or other alternative)
1/2 tsp of vanilla flavouring
Simple – mix it all together (can take a while to blend it all in), this made enough for two. Put in the fridge for about 30 mins or overnight. And it will give you a chocolate fix when you need it.
