Have
you added a little protein to you meals today?
Protein
heals and repairs your muscles and cells, and it renews your body. Generally
people think about protein as coming from animal meat
but milk, eggs, fish, and cheese are all good forms of
protein. This is because the body can use most of the protein absorbed from
these sources.
Protein
can also come from legumes and nuts. Plant proteins such as grains and nuts are
not complete proteins so it is good to mix, but it is a great way of adding
extra protein through the day.
Try
adding chia seed to you afternoon green smoothie or a handful of nuts to your
oats in the morning.
Some of
you might have tried my overnight porridge the other week, here is another one
with chia seeds which is really nice. Give it a try for a change from the other
one.
Blueberry
Maple Porridge

protein.
