10 easy ways to add more protein to your day
Getting enough protein each day doesn’t mean living on chicken and shakes. Whether you’re plant-based, always on the go, or just want to feel fuller for longer, small changes can make a big difference.
Here are 10 easy, realistic ways to add more protein to your day — no boring meals, no meal prep marathons.
🥣 1. Start Your Morning With Protein
Try Greek yoghurt, overnight oats with chia seeds, or protein pancakes. Adding a dollop of nut butter or a spoonful of protein powder can give your breakfast a protein punch.
Tip: Try sprinkling chopped Protein Balls on top of your porridge or yoghurt for a quick boost.
🥜 2. Snack Smart
Most snacks are high in sugar and low in nutrition. Keep things simple with a healthy, high-protein option like a handful of nuts, boiled eggs, or our 100% natural Protein Balls — made with up to 10g of protein per bag.
Research from the British Nutrition Foundation confirms that spreading your protein intake throughout the day supports muscle repair, energy, and satiety.
🍳 3. Add an Egg (or Two)
Eggs are a brilliant, budget-friendly source of complete protein. Add one to your morning toast, lunchtime salad or even your ramen bowl.
🥤 4. Upgrade Your Smoothie
A scoop of protein powder, a spoonful of nut butter or a few tablespoons of Greek yoghurt can turn a fruit smoothie into a balanced meal.

🥗 5. Toss in Some Seeds
Chia, flax and pumpkin seeds are surprisingly rich in protein and omega-3s. Sprinkle them onto salads, cereals or even soups for extra texture and goodness.
According to Harvard School of Public Health, plant-based protein sources like seeds can contribute to overall health and help reduce disease risk when replacing processed or red meats.
🥙 6. Make Swaps Where You Can
Opt for protein-rich bread, lentil or chickpea pasta, or quinoa instead of rice. Little swaps can help you hit your daily targets without changing your diet too much.
🍫 7. Go for High-Protein Treats
If you’ve got a sweet tooth, try healthier options like our Cacao + Orange Protein Balls or a high-protein yoghurt. They’re indulgent without the crash.
🥘 8. Add Legumes to Meals
Beans, lentils and chickpeas are versatile, affordable and packed with protein and fibre. Throw them into soups, stews or pasta sauces.
🧀 9. Snack on Cheese or Hummus
Cheese (in moderation) is a tasty way to increase protein — as is hummus with wholegrain crackers or veggies. Keep a few fridge staples ready for quick bites.
🐾 10. Don’t Forget Your Dog’s Protein, Too
We believe good nutrition isn’t just for humans. That’s why we launched It’s The Dog’s — our dog-friendly peanut butter balls packed with all-natural, protein-rich ingredients for wag-worthy wellness.
