Protein meals don’t just refer to all meat! Many vegetables are very high in protein. You will also get carbs in vegetables, but unrefined carbs are good for you.

That is a great source of energy. The carbohydrates to avoid are refined starches and sugars.

A good protein-based meal will include some meat, fish, or poultry. It will also have beans and its relatives; black-eyed peas and chickpeas (chickpeas).

Also included will be some good veggies, greens, and a delicious banana split for dessert (ha ha, I lied about dessert).

Here’s a good breakfast menu:

• Sirloin steak, 4 ounces, grilled (medium rare on mine).
• 2 poached eggs.
• Sprouted grain bread toast with natural peanut butter spread.
• Fresh fruit compote (without refined sugar).
• A protein-rich shake with raw milk and some locally produced honey.

Lots of protein and “good” carbohydrates. Probably fewer calories than a Big Mac and much better for you. A great start to the day.

How about this for a lunch menu?

• Grilled tuna steak, 4 oz.
• Steamed broccoli
• Cheese sauce (for the broccoli)
• Green Salad with Tomatoes
• High protein shake with raw milk and a little honey.

How about this for dinner?

• Chili; Ground beef (90%), kidney beans, tomatoes, cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper, minced jalapeños, water
• Coleslaw (with sour cream, not mayonnaise, and a few raisins)
• High protein shake with raw milk and a little honey.
• Dessert: a plate of fresh fruit.

These are just examples of how a high protein meal can be prepared. Here’s another one:

• Grilled tuna steak – 4 ounces
• Steamed broccoli – 1/2 cup steamed carrots – 1/2 cup
• Garden Salad – Oil and Vinegar Dressing
• High protein shake: protein powder with raw milk and a little honey

There are many delicious, high-protein meals you can make or order from your favorite restaurant menu.

As more and more people have become aware of healthy eating, restaurants have been offering a wider selection of healthy foods.

And moms, I know mac n cheese is easy to make and your kids seem to love it, but do you know what they’re doing to their bodies?

How about choosing a healthy bread instead of an unhealthy, unhealthy and non-nutritious white bread? Try some sprouted grain breads, they are moderately healthy and nutritious.

Here are some other healthy options for your high-protein menus:

• Salmon – either fresh or canned. Try making salmon cakes with some diced onion, a (very) little breadcrumbs, and an egg. Bake these and serve with sour cream and dill sauce.
• You do not have – canned made into a tuna and egg salad with chopped onion, chopped celery, a touch of sweet pickle seasoning, and sour cream.
• Chicken – Breasts or thighs without skin, sauté in olive oil with onion and garlic. Brown on both sides and then top with crushed tomatoes, oregano and basil, cover and cook for 45 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of red wine for more flavor.
• Turkey breast – Season lightly and roast in oven or grill with indirect heat.
• Cajun bean soup ten – Use prepackaged dried beans and boil them in water with minced onion and garlic. Add chicken cut into pieces; at the beginning of cooking if it is raw or near the end if it is cooked.
• Eggs – prepare an omelette or frittata with onion, mushrooms and a little cheese. Make sure to add a lot of air for a fluffy omelette.

It is not difficult to find delicious, nutritious and protein dominated meals. Pair a protein-rich main dish with healthy sides like fresh vegetables, a salad, and a protein shake.
