Unleashing Food Freedom: Conquering Cravings with Protein Power

When my new clients open up about their day-long wrestling match with cravings, it hits close to home. The struggle is real! But here's the silver lining – it's often a straightforward fix. The top culprit? Lack of water. The close runner-up? Insufficient protein, often substituted with excess sugar and refined carbs.

Protein emerges as the unsung hero in this battle, standing out as the most satiating macronutrient. Its gradual energy release keeps you fueled throughout the day. Thanks to its slower digestion process, your blood sugar remains steady, translating to reduced hunger, fewer cravings, and sustained energy.

Now, let's debunk a common misconception. Protein doesn't mean you're destined for a daily menu of eggs and chicken breast. Nope, my friend, there's a world of possibilities!

Discover three protein-packed sources that seamlessly elevate any dish, granting you food freedom and silencing those pesky cravings:

🙌 Hemp Heart Seeds - 3 TBSPs = 10 g of protein

Sprinkle these crunchy wonders on morning toast, yogurt, oatmeal, smoothies, salads, casseroles, soups, or even hummus dips. Pro-tip: Store them in a shaker jar for easy, mess-free additions!

🙌 Nutritional Yeast - 2 TBSPs = 5 g of protein

Imagine a nutty/cheesy topper (reminiscent of parm cheese) for your eggs, soups, salads, popcorn, veggies, or pasta. (Note to self: Get another shaker jar – stat!)

🙌 Collagen Peptides - 2 scoops = 20 g of protein

This unflavored, dissolvable protein powerhouse blends seamlessly into hot or cold liquids like coffee, tea, smoothies, oatmeal, yogurt, baked goods, or energy balls. (P.S. They've got marine and matcha collagen for my pescatarians and vegetarians!)

Protein doesn't need to steal the spotlight at every meal or snack. Simplify your life by giving your eats a little protein boost.
