Increasing protein intake while breastfeeding/busy

Meeting protein needs can be challenging for busy parents, but you can simplify it by incorporating protein into meals you already make. Unflavored protein powders (whey or plant-based) can be easily mixed into dals, dosa or idli batter, and smoothies without affecting the taste. Other natural, high-protein staples include eggs, paneer, legumes, and curd. If you are sensitive to dairy, opt for plant-based or fermented yeast protein options.
