Looking to boost your protein intake?
It’s obvious that increasing portions of meat will help you get there, but another plan of attack is to sneak protein into other foods like snacks, breakfasts, and side dishes. You can even go as far as making protein-rich vegetable soups and desserts!
Many high-protein recipes include protein powders of various types – whey, soy, rice, and hemp – but as you’ll see, it’s also possible to seek out whole foods that are naturally high in protein, including legumes like peas and edamame.
No matter what you choose to cook, it’s possible to ditch the expensive protein-rich snacks and prepare for “clean eating” in your own kitchen.
Enjoy!

This simple chia pudding only needs one thing to make it even better: pomegranate seeds.
It’s best to make anything with chia seeds a day in advance – or at least a few hours – to give them a chance to soak up the liquid. At first this will look like tiny seeds floating in a jar of milk, but in time, they’ll absorb about ten times their size in liquid. That’s how they transform into a healthy pudding with a gel-like texture.
Serves 2
Ingredients
6 Tbsp. chia seeds
2 cups low-fat milk
4 tsp. pure honey
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 cup fresh pomegranate seeds

You can have creamy pasta without the heavy alfredo. In contrast, this lemon yogurt sauce is light and bright.
Instead of coating the noodles in fat, you’ll be adding a lot of protein. And the best part is that making it hardly takes more effort than opening a jar of spaghetti sauce.
Melt the butter in a pan, cook the garlic for a minute, and whisk in lemon juice. Add the yogurt and seasonings, and then you just have to keep the creamy sauce warm until the pasta’s al dente.
Serves 6
Ingredients
1 lb. whole-wheat linguine
3 Tbsp. unsalted butter

With 6 grams of protein each, eggs are already known as a great breakfast. But this omelette adds even more protein to the mix with cottage cheese.
This is already a healthy breakfast for two, but if you want to make it even leaner, replace the whole eggs with 6 or 7 egg whites. You’ll be able to cut 10 grams of fat per serving.
Serves 2
Ingredients

2 cups sliced mushrooms
1 clove garlic, minced

If you want cake for breakfast, there are a number of healthy ways to work it out (including these carrot cake pancakes). However, if there’s cinnamon streusel in sight, a thick layer of icing smeared on top, or equal parts white flour and white sugar, steer clear.
After one taste of this luscious blueberry coffee cake, you’ll forget about those dessert-turned-breakfast pastries anyway.

Not only are they thick and fluffy, but these vegan pancakes have no eggs, gluten, or soy.
The base of this high-protein breakfast is pea protein, but that’s your secret because the flavor comes from banana, buckwheat, and coconut. Top with pure maple syrup and fresh fruit, or for more protein, opt for peanut or almond butter with a sprinkle of chia seeds instead.

Quiche can be a great source of protein because it’s mostly eggs, but often in the name of health home cooks will forego the crust altogether. Then it’s like a frittata with a custardy texture.
But quiche isn’t quite as satisfying without the crust because then you can’t pretend it’s breakfast pie. Next time, start with this protein crust and add your favorite quiche filling.

Eating flavored yogurt for breakfast is the equivalent of having sugary cereal rather than healthy granola. Pick up a few more ingredients at the grocery store, and you can make a fruit yogurt parfait instead.

Regardless of what time of day it is, you’ll be glad to have this comforting dish. And it can be ready in about a half hour.
First, the base of the soup comes together with onions, beans, chicken broth, ands oy sauce. Then add the kale to wilt. While that mixture simmers, turn your attention to the eggs. Once they’re ready, remove from heat, and serve together once the bean stew has thickened.

Next time you’re about to make scrambled eggs, take a quick peek in your pantry to see what else like canned beans and tomatoes can be added to the mix. This Tex Mex scramble is good to eat on its own, or it can be served with tortillas for breakfast tacos or burritos.

Chili doesn’t need to have ground meat to make it an excellent source of protein. This vegetarian chili is still plenty filling with a mix of black beans, butternut squash, and bulgur.
Made from several types of whole wheat, bulgur is already partially cooked so that it makes quick addition to any soup or stew. One cup of bulgur has over 15 grams of protein and 25 grams of fiber.

This breakfast pizza has an egg crust, which has a bit of grated zucchini and coconut flour to make it a thicker, more substantial base – not like a thin, floppy omelette.
But basically making an omelette in a skillet is how you start. But instead of folding it when the edges start to turn golden brown, plate it up, top with sauce, and sprinkle cheese on top.

The recipe calls for chocolate protein powder, but if you use unflavored hemp, just add more cocoa powder. It’s also easy to swap out the dried mulberries for other fruit, or walnuts for another type of nut.

Sometimes soup gets a bad rap for being low in protein, but that doesn’t have to be the case. Stews are often loaded with protein in the form of tender meat, but vegetarian soups can be high in protein too.
This one has a bunch of ingredients known for quality protein: quinoa, mushrooms, chickpeas, and spinach. Egg noodles and a garnish of Parmesan seal the deal.

Ingredients
2 Tbsp. grapeseed oil
1 large yellow onion, diced
1 cup uncooked quinoa
2 carrots, peeled and sliced
6 cups vegetable stock
8 oz. mushrooms, sliced

Legumes are a staple of the vegetarian diet, and it’s no wonder why. They’re some of the best plant-based proteins available.

For a veggie side dish, this sure does pack a lot of protein.
That’s because the cauliflower is coated in egg whites before going into the frying pan. Once they start to turn golden brown, add tomato sauce, onions, and seasoning. Place a lid on the pan, and leave to cook for a half hour.
This is a great dish to serve as part of a big assortment, or double the portions for a filling vegetarian dinner served with a simple side like rice or quinoa.

1 large head cauliflower

Mashed potatoes don’t have to be the side dish; they can be the main course.
These mashed potatoes are fluffy and delicious, but they’re also hiding a secret. Nutrition isn’t just added in the tasty mushroom gravy on top – there’s also tofu whipped into the potatoes. That means while these mashed potatoes satisfy comfort food cravings, they also deliver double the protein.

Some popular pre-workouts are all-natural. Some contain the right mix of high-quality ingredients. Some provide clinically effective doses. But only Pulse checks each of these boxes.
Pulse doesn’t just “contain natural ingredients''—every ingredient is naturally sourced from plants and animals. Pulse contains no artificial or synthetic substances of any kind.
Every serving of Pulse contains 15.1 grams of active ingredients that have been shown to be safe and effective in peer-reviewed scientific research.
Every active ingredient in Pulse is backed by published scientific studies that show benefits in healthy humans.
Pulse contains no harsh stimulants that wind you up and burn you out. Instead, it contains a 1:1 ratio of caffeine and L-theanine, which produces a smooth energy rush and comfortable comedown.
We carefully examined 508 pages of scientific research to find out exactly what should and shouldn’t be in a pre-workout drink.
Every bottle of Pulse is guaranteed to provide exactly what the label claims and nothing else—no heavy metals, microbes, allergens, or other contaminants.
While these types of chemicals may not be as dangerous as some people claim, studies suggest that regular consumption of them may indeed be harmful to our health. And that’s why we don’t put any of them into our products.
Before you buy a sports supplement, you should know that it's clean, safe, and transparent. And that's exactly what Labdoor's third-party testing and certification means.
It's hard to know for sure, but this probably makes Pulse the most-popular all-natural pre-workout supplement in the world.
If you don’t absolutely love this product, just let us know, and we’ll give you a full refund on the spot. No forms or return necessary.
