🎓 The Power of Protein 

If you’re looking to recover faster, build lean muscle or stay fuller for longer—protein is your best friend. But it’s not just about shakes or chicken! Here are some smart ways to up your intake:
​

• Add Greek yoghurt or cottage cheese to snacks and breakfasts.
• Use eggs or tofu as a base for quick lunches.
• Keep protein-rich snacks handy: boiled eggs, edamame, beef jerky, or a protein bar.
• Include a source of protein in every meal—aim for 20–30g each time.

Here’s a quick, protein-packed recipe to try:
