PROTEIN POWER

Easy ways to sneak in more of this essential nutrient-it’s crucial for muscles and overall health, especially as we age.

SKYR: This thick Icelandic dairy product packs more protein than Greek yogurt. Try it before or after a workout for a muscle-building boost.

PEA MILK: Most plant-based milks made from nuts deliver only 1 g to 2 g of protein per cup, but pea milk boasts about 7 g. Add it to your a.m. coffee or smoothie to help you start the day off right.

NUTRITIONAL YEAST: It has a cheesy flavor and is rich in B vita mins and protein, both of which support cellular and immune health. Sprinkle it on roasted veggies, baked potatoes or popcorn.

Make a Sheet-Pan Meal Even Simpler

A great solution on busy weeknights is throwing seasoned veggies and protein on a shallow pan and then into the oven : It’s low-fuss and versatile, and kids can help with assembly. To pare down the prep even more, use veggies that don’t require chopping, such as green beans, baby carrots and small tomatoes. GH Nutritionist Approved Hiiros Tomatoes from Nature Fresh Farms (hiiros is Japanese for “scarlet red”) fit the bill. They’re bursting with rich umami flavor and antioxidants, and you can snack on them straight off the vine — or try them in the tasty Dukkah Sweet Potato Bake above (recipe, page 91). Hiiros are greenhouse-grown, so you can enjoy delicious, nutritious tomatoes year-round.
