Three Easy Ways to Elevate Your Protein Intake
By: Tessa Kauppila
Whether you’re hoping to fuel fitness endeavors, stay satiated longer between meals, or lift energy naturally, protein’s the macronutrient for you. Clean plant protein, in particular, is a premiere way to hit your protein goals. You’ll reap the benefits of protein plus the perks of a plant-rich diet, like a thriving gut microbiome (which then leads to enhanced energy, improved skin clarity, and a better mood).
Below, three delicious ways to boost your protein intake with Abbot’s.
1. Meal Prep to Have Clean, Plant Protein On Hand
A hack our founder and CEO Kerry Song swears by? Meal prepping with Abbot’s, from Chopped Chick’n to Ground “Beef.” Cook your proteins until they develop a nice crisp, then let cool completely before storing in the fridge. In doing so, you’ll always have clean, satiating, and delicious plant-rich protein on hand—ready to add to salads, bowls, or wraps.
2. Top Your Takeout—and Take Nutrition Up a Notch
Make date night-in that much more delicious (and nutritious) with Abbot’s. Order your go-to takeout—be it a rich curry, saucy pizza, or verdant salad—then top it with your favorite Abbot’s plant protein. You’ll get to enjoy both a dish you love and the body-loving benefits you crave.
3. Pair Abbot’s with Other Plant Protein Sources
With a plant-centric diet, it’s crucial to consume a diverse array of plants in order to achieve a complete protein. (Animal sources are naturally a complete protein source, meaning they contain all nine essential amino acids, whereas plants often include a few of the amino acids each.) To form a complete protein, mix and match plant foods like: nuts, beans, seeds, legumes, nutritional yeast, spirulina, quinoa, leafy greens, etc. While Abbot’s plant-rich proteins are crafted from a complete protein, pea protein, enjoy alongside an abundance of these powerful plants to deliciously boost your protein intake.
