Diversify Your Protein

Hello Beloved! Three weeks ago we launched a 5 week journey, exploring how and why we feed our bodies. The first stop along our journey invited us to make a week long meal plan, representative of our current eating practices. At our second stop we reflected on our meal choices and made healthy substitutions. Our third stop encouraged us to spice things up by eating the rainbow. This week's tip and call to action is to DIVERSIFY your protein.

​Try these strategies to step up your protein game:
  1. When making this week's meal plan, try to include at least 3 different sources of protein. "Protein foods include both animal (meat, poultry, seafood, and eggs) and plant (beans, peas, soy products, nuts, and seeds) sources." (Vary Your Protein Routine).
  2. Label each day of the week, in your meal plan, by the main protein source you will prepare and or eat. Ensure that you have 3 "special" days a week. For example, "Bean Mondays", "Chicken Wednesdays" and "Salmon Fridays". There is a lot of yummy experimentation to be done, even with keeping "special" days consistent. If that gets dry, you have a lot more protein sources you can explore!
