Protein without the shaker: 7 easy ways to eat more protein

Chalky taste, clumps, a smelly shaker at the bottom of your gym bag… Many people give up on protein powder after a few weeks. But it's entirely possible to get enough protein without a shaker. Here are 7 easy ideas.

1. Start the day with eggs or Greek yogurt

A savory breakfast (eggs, turkey, cottage cheese) or a bowl of Greek yogurt with berries easily delivers 15 to 20g of protein.

2. Add a protein source to every meal

Chicken, fish, eggs, tofu or beans: aim for a visible protein source on your plate at lunch and dinner.

3. Don't forget beans and lentils

Lentils, chickpeas and black beans are rich in protein and fiber. A lentil salad can be prepped ahead and taken anywhere.

4. Replace the 4 p.m. cookie

The afternoon snack is when cravings hit hardest. Swap the cookie for Greek yogurt, a handful of almonds or a sugar-free protein snack.

5. Keep a protein snack in your bag

The biggest obstacle is lack of time. Always having a ready-to-eat snack changes everything. Protein gummies are made for this: 4 KYROX gummies = 10g of Whey Isolate, no water, no prep.

6. Have cottage cheese in the evening

A bowl of cottage cheese or Greek yogurt for dessert is an easy way to add protein at the end of the day.

7. Meal prep on Sunday

Hard-boil a few eggs, cook some chicken or lentils for the week. Having protein ready to grab keeps you from skipping it.

What matters most: consistency

Protein supports the growth and maintenance of muscle mass,* but only if your intake is consistent. Choose the options you actually enjoy eating: those are the ones you'll stick with.
