Peace and happiness through healthy eating. View this email online [click here](.
Not enough veggies and not enough protein... that seems to be a worldwide global dilemma. Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a little bit.
But, if I had to think of a list of the many struggles people have with healthy eating, those two would be high up on the list (with eating too much sugar at the very top!).
Today I want to talk about the issue of "not enough protein." I know this is a struggle for many people, as protein is not as simple to grab-and-go as other foods (like crackers, cereals, and breads).
An easy way to solve this problem is to incorporate a super-clean protein source into your favorite recipes. Yes, whole protein-rich foods like free-range eggs, pastured poultry, wild fish, and grass-fed meats will always be your best option, but when you're dealing with a busy schedule, using one of the delicious recipes below may be just what you need to fuel your body with enough protein each day.
[My absolute favorite protein powder »](
Here are three recipes I use on a regular basis to ensure my family and I get enough protein every day. Of course, the quality of the protein powder is critical, which is why I always (and only)Â use Spring of Life Plant-Based Protein Powder. I was directly involved in the formulation of this protein, and I insisted it not contain any harmful or artificial ingredients. Only the best for me... and you!

This breakfast is also great when you have to be at the airport super early. I just ask for a cup of boiling water from any coffee shop, and they are always more than happy to give me one (although sometimes you may have to pay a few cents for the cup).
If getting enough protein has been a challenge for you, try one, two, or all three of these recipes. Be sure to use a high-quality protein powder like Spring of Life Plant-Based Protein Powder.
