You know by now that I eat a high-protein diet. Not only does it help me maintain lean muscle mass, but it fuels my brain, supports breastfeeding, and keeps me full (quiets food noise). My main protein sources are animal proteins (eggs and meat) which I eat with almost every meal. If you want to increase your protein intake but would prefer non-animal sources of protein, you’re in luck! There are plenty of high-protein foods to choose from.

Bone Broth

I love sipping on bone broth year round, but this time of year it’s especially delicious. I love Bonafide Provisions, Kettle & Fire, or making it homemade when I have time. My favorite way to enjoy bone broth is the Bone Broth Latte from my cookbook, Rachael’s Good Eats.

Nuts & Seeds

Nuts are always a great source of fat and protein. I love keeping pistachios on hand as a quick snack, but chia seeds and hemp seeds are also amazing sources of plant protein that you can add to almost any meal. Try my absolute favorite Coconut Mango Chia Pudding for breakfast or a snack, Chew Snack Bars for energy on the go, or this insanely good Caesar Salad with Hemp Seeds.

Protein Powder

Protein powder is an incredible way to sneak a little more protein into your day. The easiest way to enjoy protein powder is a smoothie in my opinion, but there are also tons of great recipes to make baked goods high-protein style. You can read more about my favorite protein powders here, which includes discount codes. This Pumpkin Spice Smoothie is a favorite and has 30+ grams of protein. I also always love these Protein Blender Pancakes for a cozy breakfast. For a sweet treat this High-Protein Banana Pudding will always hit the spot. And my go-to daily smoothie is this PB & Raspberry Smoothie.
