This summer I worked to get into the habit of making sure each meal I ate, breakfast - snack - lunch - dinner, had a source of protein in it. Let me say that this wasn't always done well but I am learning more and more ways to get my protein packed into each meal...protein means muscle! Now the summer means a little more time but who wants to be slaving away in the kitchen when there is fun to be had outside? Even more now that I am back to work, meals need to be quick but packed with protein and fresh ingredients. I mean I could just grab a spoon and a jar of peanut butter but....well that can't happen!

How do you pack your meals with protein in a quick, healthy way?
At first when I just saw the photo in your preview my initial thought was "i hope she didn't buy that jar at Kroger" (there was a recall on any almond butters the store carries nationwide) Funny how you go into a post thinking one thing and when you read it, the content is different. I agree, protein can be tricky to always include. I wish I liked tuna (or any seafood) as that would greatly increase my options.
