LadyReyven 25 Posted November 17, 2015 So, I've been having a bit of a struggle lately getting all my Protein in and I'm really bored of eating the same things day after day. What I've been craving is vegetables, especially zucchini and brussel sprouts! Great for low calories but not so much on the protein. Since we are so limited to meal size, I'm trying to make ever bite as protein packed as possible. I'm back to eating regular foods, no restrictions so I'm looking for some good ideas and/or recipes. Anyone have any great ideas how to "protein up" some veggies? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

funkecoldmedina 49 Posted November 19, 2015 Edamame is an excellent source of Protein and I love how delicious they are. I like to roast them personally but they are great warm, cold, or added to certain dishes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Inner Surfer Girl 12,015 Posted November 20, 2015 Melted cheese! Add cheese to just about any vegetable and it increases the Protein content. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RuxieGirl 11 Posted November 23, 2015 You could make zucchini noodles (love me some zoodles!) and add any Protein you'd like, ground turkey, cheese crumbles, other veggies. And it's like having pasta! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
