Protein Packed Greens
Protein is important if you are an active mom. If you exercise regularly you should be consuming one gram of protein per pound of body weight each day. That amounts to a lot of protein. If you don’t like to eat much meat, you should know about the protein power that is packed into dark, leafy greens. Spinach and kale have more protein per calories than any other food, including meat. Spinach and kale are also packed with antioxidants and vitamins. Spinach and kale can be eaten raw or cooked, so try out some new recipes and incorporate these protein packed greens into your diet.
