]]> Protein powders became a smoothie must-have with everyone trying to increase the protein intake of their smoothies in an easy way, but they’re not the most natural option on the market. There are many better ingredients that you can use to make protein-rich smoothies, and here are five of the very best.

Soy Milk

You’ll have to ditch dairy if you’re trying to make vegan smoothies. Luckily, there are many plant-based alternatives on the market, and soy milk is one of the very best.

Silken Tofu

Tofu is another soy-based food that happens to be a great vegan source of protein. It may not be the most obvious smoothie add-in, but you won’t even feel its taste when mixed up with other ingredients, especially if you opt for silken tofu.

Greek Yogurt

Greek yogurt is a great smoothie add-in because it happens to be very protein-rich—just make sure to always pick a non-fat, plain variety to keep your smoothies on the healthy side.

Hemp Seeds

You can add all sorts of seeds to your smoothies to up their protein content, and hemp seeds happen to be one of the best options since they pack 10 grams of protein per three tablespoons.

Nuts and Nut Butters

Nuts happen to be a great source of protein, but you can also use any nut butter in their place if your blender isn’t powerful enough to handle them.

]]> Protein is often associated with meat, but there are many other foods that are also an excellent source of protein. Check out our list of underrated foods that can help you add protein to your meals. Did you know about any of these secret protein-filled superfoods?

Seeds

Pumpkin, sunflower, hemp, and flax seeds are all excellent sources of protein! You can sprinkle them into so many different dishes like salads, smoothies, energy bars, puddings, and other desserts.

Ricotta Cheese

With 28 grams of protein per one cup, ricotta cheese is an excellent source of protein that is often overlooked. Because of its mild taste, it can easily be added to both savory and sweet dishes, making this creamy cheese is delicious and versatile.

Soy

Soybeans and soy products (like tofu and soy milk) are great meat alternatives because they are packed with protein. Edamame are also a great healthy snack that is soy-based.

Veggies

Keep in mind that there are plenty of fruits and veggies that are also rich in protein. For example, brussels sprouts, broccoli, asparagus, or spinach have great protein benefits along with other nutrients.

]]> Once it’s past 2 p.m. and you’ve had your lunch, you probably experience a decrease in energy and motivation. The good news is that this happens to most people and that you don’t necessarily need sugar or coffee to fight this feeling. Here’s what to do instead.

Drink Green Tea

Although green tea contains caffeine, there’s a lot less of it in a cup of tea than in a typical cup of coffee. Just one cup of green tea can be enough to wake you up perfectly so that you can continue being productive until the end of the day.

Eat Fats

When our energy levels are down, we crave sugar and carbs. But if you fill up on fats instead, you will give your body a lasting energy source and it won’t make you feel sleepy and tired but keep you alert and going.

Don’t Skip Protein

It’s important to include protein in your lunch because it will make you feel full longer, providing you with enough energy and a clear mind. Eggs are a great choice and you can easily boil them at home and take with you to avoid buying lunch at work.

]]> When you’re following a vegan diet, many people get confused about where you get your protein from. But, there are many amazing plant-based protein sources and if you’re in need of answers – here are some of them.

Almond Butter

Almond butter contains just a little less protein than peanut butter (21g per 100g vs 25g per 100g), but it has more fiber, potassium, calcium, and iron. Both are great options when you need to add more protein to your meal.

Black Beans

Black beans are a nutritious option that you should go for if your diet requires more folate, potassium, iron, and fiber. You can cook them from scratch or use the canned ones.

Hemp Seeds

Hemp seeds have a nice flavor and are rich in fiber, magnesium, and omega-3 fatty acids. You can add them to various sweet and savory dishes.

Chickpeas

Chickpeas contain 19 grams of protein per 100 grams, similarly to some other legumes. You can cook them in numerous ways and enjoy them as a main or side dish whenever you feel like it.

Hard Boiled Eggs

Eating an egg is a great source of protein, and if you hard boil them, you don’t have to add any fat or oil to cook them. Boil as many as you want at a time and keep them in your refrigerator, so you can quickly pull them out and peel them whenever you need a quick boost.

Hummus

Hummus is made of chickpeas and tahini, which are both sources of plant-based protein. Spread a couple tablespoons on some rice cakes, much of which only has 30 calories per cake, and you have a low calorie but incredibly high protein snack!

Flax Seeds

Flax seeds are a great source of plant-based protein, as long as you grind them up so they are easier to digest. Sprinkle some on top of a banana, your favorite toast, or really just about anything to transform it into a protein-packed snack.

Eat Fats

When our energy levels are down, we crave sugar and carbs. But if you fill up on fats instead, you will give your body a lasting energy source and it won’t make you feel sleepy and tired but keep you alert and going.

Don’t Skip Protein

It’s important to include protein in your lunch because it will make you feel full longer, providing you with enough energy and a clear mind. Eggs are a great choice and you can easily boil them at home and take with you to avoid buying lunch at work.

Hard Boiled Eggs

Eating an egg is a great source of protein, and if you hard boil them, you don’t have to add any fat or oil to cook them. Boil as many as you want at a time and keep them in your refrigerator, so you can quickly pull them out and peel them whenever you need a quick boost.

Hummus

Hummus is made of chickpeas and tahini, which are both sources of plant-based protein. Spread a couple tablespoons on some rice cakes, much of which only has 30 calories per cake, and you have a low calorie but incredibly high protein snack!

Flax Seeds

Flax seeds are a great source of plant-based protein, as long as you grind them up so they are easier to digest. Sprinkle some on top of a banana, your favorite toast, or really just about anything to transform it into a protein-packed snack.

Eggs

The perfect food to have for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Eggs are so versatile. You can add them to salads, get them boiled, fried, add them to your meals in so many different ways. Plus, they are delicious.

Lentils

If you like lentils, you’ll be happy to hear that they are packed in protein. Only one cup of these goodies is an equivalent of three eggs. Another great food to provide you with the daily protein needs and help you lose weight.
