MMMMM SNACKS... ALWAYS with protein!! WHY?? WELL, 👇🏽

🔥

One habit I focus on every single day — especially during perimenopause and menopause - is making sure I include protein at meals AND snacks!!

I know i've posted on the importance before, but here’s a little reminder why it matters so much to me, and just gunna be honest, it should to you as well!!!! 😍

💪🏽Supports muscle

As we age, we naturally lose muscle more easily.(😩).... Protein helps preserve and rebuild it - which is key for strength, metabolism.....and confidence!!

💪🏽Balances blood sugar

Protein helps prevent big energy crashes, cravings, and that “hangry” feeling that if you're anything like me.... you get HANGRY😅. This is HUGE for hormone balance.

💪🏽Keeps you fuller, longer

Adding protein to snacks helps you feel satisfied instead of constantly grazing all day.

💪🏽 Supports recovery

Especially with your S.I.T. training challenge coming up — protein helps your body recover, repair, and get stronger.

💡 Simple rule I follow:

If I’m snacking, I ask myself: “Where’s the protein?”😁

Examples:

Cup of bone broth

I always try to buy natural crackers with protein like the ones i have here in the video today

Plain yogurt + berries

Cottage cheese with ANYTHING😍🙌🏽

Protein shake

Eggs... BUT one egg is only 6 grams, so a trick i like to do is a scramble with 1-2 eggs PLUS a cup of egg whites... this makes it 38-40 grams right there!!! Add in some cheese and even more!!

Cheese + fruit

Turkey pepperoni/beef jerky

Nuts + a protein source

Nothing fancy. Just intentional 💜

👉🏽 Challenge for today:

Add protein to at least one snack and notice how you feel.

Drop a 💪🏽 if you’ll try — or share your favorite protein snack below!!
