If eating more protein is on your resolution list, here are some easy, realistic ways to help you hit your goal.
1. Add Protein to Your Coffee
If coffee is already part of your morning routine, this is one of the easiest wins.
Adding protein to coffee turns it into a functional way to start your day with steady energy and nourishment. One of our favorite ways to do this is with our Vanilla Crème A2 Protein, which blends smoothly and complements coffee beautifully.

2. Add Protein Pancakes to the Menu
Protein doesn’t have to mean eggs and chicken breasts.
Protein pancakes are a great way to enjoy a comforting classic while still supporting your goals.

3. Use Protein Shakes Between Meals (or as Dessert!)
Protein shakes don’t have to be reserved for post workouts.
They’re incredibly useful:
- Between meals when you’re hungry but don’t want a full meal
- As an afternoon pick-me-up
- Even for dessert (Our Co-Founder, Heath, loves to combine Chocolate Milk A2 Protein with Peppermint Milkshake A2 Protein for his nighttime treat)
Our Chocolate Milk A2 Protein is especially great here. It has that classic, nostalgic flavor that works well in blended shakes or even just with some water.
4. Aim for Some Protein at Every Meal
You don’t need massive amounts of protein at once.
Instead of thinking, “How do I hit all my protein today?” try thinking: “How can I add a little protein to each meal?”
A few examples:
- Adding eggs or Greek yogurt at breakfast
- Including a protein source at lunch and dinner
- Pairing carbs with protein instead of eating them alone
Small additions throughout the day add up faster than you think.
5. Choose Snacks That Support You
Not all snacks are created equal.
When you’re choosing between options, protein-forward snacks, like string cheese, almonds, pistachios, or edamame can help keep energy steady and hunger in check.
The Big Picture
Eating more protein doesn’t require perfection or extreme changes. It’s about stacking small, realistic habits that fit into your life.
Add protein to what you’re already doing. Build meals that support you. Choose snacks that work a little harder for you.
And most importantly: make it enjoyable. When it tastes good and feels good, it’s a lot easier to stick with.
