7 Easy Ways to Boost Your Protein Intake

4. Sprinkle chopped almonds over your meals.

All kinds of nuts are good for our health, but almonds are the best when it comes to boosting our protein intake. A one-ounce serving packs 6 grams of protein, and that’s more than you can get from any other types of nuts.

Indeed, a serving also comes with approximately 167 calories, but studies suggest that our bodies will only absorb about 129 of them because some of the fat provided by almonds isn’t digested. A handful of chopped almonds should be more than enough to increase your protein intake.

Sprinkle them over your Greek yogurts, fresh salads, and, of course, over your favorite type of cheese.
