At WillPowders, nanna’s kitchen is back! Grandma knew best with her meat and two veg approach. Veg’ll support your vitamins and your microbiome, serving it one of the things it likes to chow down – fibre. If you’re going all out, try less carb-rich veg – mushroom, broccoli, peppers. Meat provides the bioavailable contribution of protein you need for bones, ligaments, tendons, liver, brain, skin and fingernails. Even then, that’s not a complete list of what protein’s doing for you. Sit down, carbs, you’re not what we’re made of!
Meat protein is complete protein – made up of the 20 amino acids the body needs to do its thing. That can’t be said for protein in the veg kingdom. Unless you’re happy to eat hemp seeds, quinoa and buckwheat daily, (you do you), you’re going to need to keep a register. Blue-green algae, anyone? Yeah, didn’t think so.
We’re not talking about the sort of eating body builders do in the run up to a comp. We’re talking about feeding you and the fam meals with protein as the star. There’s loads of ways to switch it up with a meat and two veg combo: mix up your flavours with our Chicken Puttanesca or Moussaka. Bang our Cauliflower Mash or Honey and Caraway Beetroot next to it and no one’s going to feel like they’re missing out, least of all your muscles and hormones. Nom nom nom.
After eating, take a breath. Leave it for 15 and decide – do I need anything else? If you do, make it protein. We’re wheeling a different type of dessert trolley – a protein first one: Coconut, Vanilla and Lemon Chia Seed Pudding, Cottage Cheese, Strawberry and Vanilla Ice Cream or Chickpea Protein Cookies. Pudding never got so protein.
