We’ve covered Greek yogurt, quinoa, and eggs, so let’s get to the meaty part of the story…
I mean, meat and seafood is what pops into most people’s minds first when they are thinking about protein. Other than a few non-animal sources, meat is the only source of the full set of amino acids to make a complete protein. With meat and fish, we do need to consider things like antibiotic and saturated fat content, but I will leave that to each of you to make your choices in that area regarding the source, cuts, etc. of animal proteins you choose, as I am not a nutritionist or an expert in this area. But what I will provide to you are some delicious ways to use those proteins, once you have made your choices.
Besides the great list below, check out my Dinner Inspiration, Soup & Stew Inspiration, Slow Cooker Inspiration, and Seafood Inspiration Boards for lots of meaty and fishy goodness! Plus I have tons of other personal and group Pinterest boards that will have more great protein-packed recipes. Follow me and you’ll see new things being pinned all the time from myself and hundreds of foodie friends.
And I have a couple of great new meaty dishes coming up for you later this week!
