Protein by Convenience

All week, we’ve been working towards ensuring all of our meals contain protein. For some of this, this hasn’t been too big of a challenge whereas for others, it’s been a significant struggle.

Most of us have no problem eating nutritious foods if they are placed in front of us, but when we are pinched for time, it’s just easier to reach for something pre-packaged than it is to sit down and whip up something from scratch.
