🍽 What I’m Eating – Protein for Perimenopause

<br />

From Trina’s Kitchen: Healthy Food Made Easy.

Sweet Yogurt Delight (p. 31) – quick, creamy, satisfying and a desert
Yogurt Parfait (p. 36) – layers of fruit, crunch, and protein
Egg + Tofu Sandwich (p. 149)– power-packed, filling, and plant-forward

✨ Pro Tip

Aim for 20–30g of protein per meal. Combine whole-food sources like yogurt, tofu, and eggs for maximum benefits—and variety.

🔥 Why I Love It

During perimenopause, protein is a game changer—it helps balance blood sugar, supports muscle, boosts metabolism, and reduces cravings. Build protein into every meal, especially breakfast to start your day.

👉 Consistency matters most: it’s not about one “perfect” meal, it’s about building protein into your daily rhythm.
