Eating or drinking the required amount of protein for recovery can get quite boring if you ride hard every day. It\u2019s a good idea to keep it interesting. You can add protein to snacks, breakfasts, and salads – there are many ways to get to your goal. This article will show you some good protein sources for every circumstance.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Protein snacks<\/h2>\n

An effective way of increasing protein intake is having snacks full of protein handy. And these can still be very tasty. For example, peanut butter paired with fruit will give you good protein, healthy fats, and vitamins plus it tastes great. Other good options are lean jerky, cottage cheese, or various types of nuts.<\/p>\n

Improved salads<\/h2>\n

Salads can be very healthy and even useful for recovery, but that depends on what you put on top of the vegetables. Great protein-rich choices are canned fish like tuna or sardines, or left-over meat cut up in smaller pieces. You can also sprinkle cheese or chopped almonds on top.<\/p>\n

Protein-rich alternatives<\/h2>\n

A great example is Greek yoghurt. It contains a lot more protein than regular yogurts and tastes better, it\u2019s an easy choice at the store if you need to up your protein intake. Another good idea is to replace morning cereal with eggs. They not only contain a lot more protein but healthy fats and plenty of vitamins too.<\/p>\n

Recipe: Pina Colada Protein Shake<\/h2>\n

And finally, there are protein shakes and smoothies. These usually offer the best sources of protein and take very little time to prepare, 5 minutes in case of this one. The main advantage lies in the flavour possibilities, though. Why not feel like you\u2019re on a vacation, lying on the beach with a pina colada in your hand when recovering.
