Eating fresh veggies on a daily basis is one of the biggest rules for maintaining a healthy diet. But veggies alone won’t keep you full for a long time because they aren’t packed with protein—so here are a few simple protein options to add to your salads.
Lentils
Lentils are a great source of protein and they make a perfect addition to any meal. Don’t forget to add them to your salads if you want to up your protein intake.
Chickpeas and Beans
Both chickpeas and beans contain plenty of protein and they can make any salad more tasty and nutritious.
Tofu
Looking for ways to include more tofu in your diet? Try to add this soy-based food to your salads because only one cup of tofu contains around 20 grams of protein.
Nuts
As you probably already know, nuts like almonds, pistachios, cashews, and walnuts, are all packed with protein. Topping your salads with some nuts is a great way to boost your protein intake, but also to prepare tasty and crunchy salad meals.
Eggs
Adding a hard-boiled egg to your salads is also an easy way to make your salads more nutritious because eggs are one of the best sources of protein.
