A diet rich in protein should be at the top of your New Year’s resolution list. Protein is an essential building block of bones and muscles, repairs and generates cells, carries oxygen throughout your body and helps fuel your energy. Pretty important, right? There are countless ways to pack protein into every meal, from wonder grains to eggs, tofu, seafood and lean meat. Here are ten healthy recipes to inspire you to bump up your protein count and power into 2022.
