Surprising Ways to Add Protein to Your Diet
Are you looking for creative ways to boost your protein intake? Adding enough protein to your diet is essential for weight loss, as it helps fight hunger, boosts metabolism, and stabilizes blood sugar and energy levels. While traditional sources like meat, chicken, fish, eggs, and dairy products are great options, it's natural to crave variety. Fortunately, the BariatricPal Store offers some surprising ways to sneak in protein. Let's explore these delicious and protein-packed alternatives.
Protein-packed Breakfast Options
Tired of the same old eggs? BariatricPal breakfasts offer high-protein, low-carb alternatives to satisfy your morning cravings. Try their weight loss cereals like cinnamon vanilla or cocoa, with just 120 calories and 15 grams of protein per serving. If you prefer something warm, their oatmeal options in flavors like Maple Brown Sugar and Peaches & Cream contain 100 calories and 14 grams of protein. You can even indulge in protein-rich pancakes like Chocolate Chip or Blueberry, with 90-110 calories and 15 grams of protein. Top them with Greek vanilla yogurt and fresh fruit for a complete and satisfying meal.
