Tips To Adding Protein For Lunch
- Prepare your protein in advance! Make a roasted chicken (or buy one) before the week starts. Prep all of your meat in advance and keep high-protein add-ons in stock (such as tuna, nuts, seeds, and tofu). Pro-tip: have all of your organic, lean, high-quality meats delivered to your doorstep with Butcher Box! (opens in a new tab) (Get 20$ off and free shipping HERE (opens in a new tab))
- While it isn’t necessary, planning helps make the most out of healthy lunches! Have all of your ingredients on hand and ready for the week. Use a service like Thrive Market (opens in a new tab) and Amazon Fresh (opens in a new tab) to have your groceries delivered and save time!
- Make these your own! Add protein to these recipes and adjust ingredients as you see fit. It’s about getting the amount of protein and ingredients that are right for you!
