5 Easy Ways to Add Protein to Your Diet

Want to eat more protein without going full bodybuilder mode or completely changing your meals? Protein is essential for energy, muscle recovery, and keeping you fuller for longer—but most people don’t get enough.
Luckily, boosting your protein intake can be simple and delicious. Here are five easy ways to do it—plus how Nutrasumma's clean, plant-based Fermented Pea Protein can help.
1. Make Your Breakfast Protein-Powered
Breakfast is a golden opportunity to get a head start on your daily protein needs. Skip the sugary cereals and try:
- Scrambled eggs or tofu
- Greek yogurt with seeds and fruit
- Protein smoothies with fermented pea protein (more gut-friendly when waking up in the morning)
- Overnight oats mixed with nut butter and chia seeds
2. Snack Smart with Protein-Rich Options
Snack smarter by choosing options that satisfy and support your goals:
- Hummus with veggies: This combo delivers plant-based protein, fiber, and antioxidants that support digestion, immunity, and long-lasting energy.
- Trail mix with almonds and pumpkin seeds: A heart-healthy, nutrient-dense snack packed with protein, magnesium, and zinc for sustained energy and immune support.
- Protein balls or bars made with oats and protein: A balanced bite of carbs, protein, and healthy fats that supports muscle recovery and helps stabilize blood sugar.
3. Upgrade Your Meals with Protein Boosters
You don’t need new meals—just upgrade your current ones:
- Toss lentils or beans into salads and soups
- Mix protein powder into sauces or casseroles
- Top toast with smashed avocado and hemp seeds
- Stir protein powder into your morning yogurt bowl or baked goods
4. Hydrate and Refuel with Protein Drinks
Post-workout or between meals, a protein smoothie is one of the easiest ways to get high-quality nutrition. Try blending:
- Frozen fruit
- Non-dairy milk or water
- A scoop of Nutrasumma fermented pea protein
- Spinach or flax for bonus nutrients
