  • a scoop of protein powder (most people use whey, but you can use soy, casein, or any other you like),
  • a tablespoon of slivered almonds (five pieces, i.e. ten grams will suffice),
  • a cup of light soy milk or low-fat yogurt (whichever you prefer),
  • a tablespoon of maple syrup (make sure it is sugar-free),
  • three drops of vanilla extract (this is optional, but it adds to the taste), and
  • a handful of ice cubes.

Chicken with Goat Cheese Vinaigrette

Many experts argue that lean chicken is the best kind of meat you can have, especially when combined with other high-protein ingredients, which is the case with this meal.

That is why chicken mixed with goat cheese vinaigrette will make you both healthy and strong at the same time. Its high protein value makes it a perfect meal for lunch or even dinner.

The ingredients you need are:

  • four chicken breasts (boneless, split horizontally; for more people, add more chicken),
  • half a cup of goat cheese (crumbled, preferably),
  • half a teaspoon of crushed red pepper (depending on your taste, you can add more or less than this amount),
  • a quarter of a cup of flat-leaf parsley (as fresh as possible),
  • one cup of orzo (or any other pasta you prefer), and
  • half a cup of olive oil, salt, pepper, and other spices you usually use.

The fastest way to finish this meal is to cook the orzo while you prepare the vinaigrette using olive oil, parsley, red pepper, and cheese. Then season the chicken, cook it for three minutes on each side, serve it on a plate next to the orzo and pour the vinaigrette over it all.

Wrap-Up: From Protein to Muscles

A 2008 study shows that whey protein successfully helps you lose fat and preserve muscles, which is great.

Nevertheless, if you want to become more buffed, you must include more protein-rich foods in your diet, from protein shakes and bars to dairy products, eggs, and beef.
