A SUPER-SMOOTHIE

Getting your daily dose of protein is super-easy if you have a blender. You can blend frozen cauliflower, fresh spinach and kale, Greek yogurt, and mixed seeds like hemp and chia for a protein-packed super-smoothie. And the cruciferous veggies give you a double menopause win.

KEEP PROTEIN POWDERS IN THEIR PLACE

Protein powders are convenient and can be great for quick recovery after a race or when it’s tough to find real food. But I encourage you to save them for those circumstances and not make protein shakes your first stop for meeting your protein needs. Not only are they expensive, but they can be high in sugar and some contain fillers and other ingredients you don’t need. (Some women also find that protein powders make them gassy.) Real food always comes in the right package with the right ingredients you need without the additives you don’t.

When you do reach for protein powder, whey isolate powders are the best for bioavailability. The best vegan alternative is pea-protein isolate, as it is just on the cusp of the leucine amount needed. Mix in hemp or brown rice, and you’ve got a perfect alternative to whey isolate.
