"Protein is a crucial macronutrient, of course, and though it is possible to eat too much protein, it's difficult to get anywhere close. Because of this, protein powders have become a staple in many diets, offering an easy way to boost protein totals simply by sprinkling, stirring, and blending. While the high-protein options that exist because of powders are convenient, it's hard to beat the protein already found in foods we eat everyday."
"This protein-packed Cobb salad recipe written by developer and nutritionist coach Michelle McGlinn is a hearty source of the macronutrient thanks to chicken, bacon, eggs, Greek yogurt, chickpeas, flax seeds, and chia seeds. Altogether, this salad recipe boasts over 200 grams of protein, which divides into over 50 grams of protein per serving. A fitness lover's dream, this salad is filled with nutrients to fuel any workout - or even just a long day."
The protein-packed Cobb salad combines chicken, bacon, eggs, Greek yogurt, chickpeas, flax seeds, and chia seeds to create a concentrated protein meal. A homemade Greek-yogurt ranch dressing adds additional protein and flavor while using simple herbs and buttermilk. Two avocados are coated in chia and flax seeds for texture and healthy fats. The assembled salad layers chopped lettuce, cherry tomatoes, gorgonzola, chickpeas, crumbled bacon, sliced eggs, and seasoned chicken breast to deliver nutrient density. The full recipe totals over 200 grams of protein, providing more than 50 grams per serving and supporting active lifestyles.
