I incorporated so much seafood in my diet and I feel so relieved. Delicate seafood protein and all the micronutrients that comes with it literally gives me so much peace of mind. Mussels, prawns, octo and smoked mackrel (cold water fresh water fatty fish which is also so budget friendly ) are my most reached for.
@@christinaebrahim7328 Seafood protein is delicate so it really doesn't need a lot of prep. For mussels - I get them frozen and without shells and then I add them to my eggs in the morning, they only need a minute or two with butter. For shrimp - I buy them fresh with the shells and the heads and then I prepare them with the recipe from AMERICA'S TEST KITCHEN. They have a video called '' The Best Way to Make Perfect Shrimp Scampi at Home '' you can find it on youtube. For octo - I cut it up into pieces that are more or less the same size and then toss them in a pan for a few minute with olive oil and salt and then a few minutes later I add white wine and/or a bit of water and flip them and do the same. I make a bit of lime and red onion mayo sauce and serve it on the side. For smoked mackrel - this one is so budget and so easy because they just come vacuum packed and ready to serve. I usually cut it into 4 thick pieces. I get a pan full of veggies, usually zucchini rings and fry them up for a few minutes with a spoonful of olive oil and salt. It's very easy, it takes about 4-5 minutes. I also used to make potato salad as a side, it goes really well as well. The biggest bennefit from smoked mackrel is that it's a fatty cold water fish full of omegas, great protein and great micronutrients and you don't have to worry about GMOs or farming, it's also super budget and there is no way of making a mistake with the prep because there is no prep. It's almost like a sardine can, but even more quality. A long time ago I used to try to eat canned sardines but the preservatives in it gave me so much indegestion and I am not able to eat any canned products because I am very sensitive to the preservatives they put in canned things. But the smoked mackrel has been absolutely problem free and worry free. It's become a staple I can reach for and if it accidentally stays in the fridge too long - it's not even expensive, so I don't feel bad. The smokiness of the mackrell is also gentle and the taste of the fish is also delicate and salty so I don't have to worry about any strong flavors. The fact that the fish isn't actually fried or baked also preserves the omegas and other nutrients, which is such a great feeling. Breaded calamari rings are also the best protein variation of french fries. If I had kids I would order calamari for them instead of french fries any time we go out. It takes like 5 minutes to get them out of the freezer and shallow-fry them in hot oil. It's a staple emergency meal that takes 5 minutes. It still involves hot oil and frying but in an emergency it's really quick and easy and reliable. No-brainer.

Yes that is a good one! I usually buy fage since my stores rarely ever have unsweetened skyr. And only one store sells Nancy's. But I buy it when I'm there. Tastes great
@@briannehill7583 ooo! Those others are great choices. I always buy unsweetened and plain - add my own stevia, monkfruit or allulose and a bit of vanilla extract!
@@priscillajimenez27 Google says Split peas are just normal peas that are dried and split to speed up the cooking process! Split peas are a type of legume and can be eaten as a vegetable or protein. They can be either green or yellow. Green split peas have a slightly sweet flavor and yellow peas are more mild.
@@ellb8795 you don't have to eat more than one serving size. Healthy fats are quite important and contain vital nutrients. Yes they're calorically dense but they're also more satiating than carbs, so you can eat less and be fuller for longer.
@@michelejackson6211 I’m a meat eater. I like to incorporate a variety of protein. If I happen to like the flavor, I would rotate it in just like I tested out different fish. Not ready for sardines, but open to lamb.
One high protein source you’ve ignored so far is bugs! Seriously, insects are normal cuisine in many cultures and they’re high in protein and kosher! I just found some Oaxaca crickets on Amazon. 😃
Aww Sage is so adorable! She got so big!
Thanks Autumn, one never has too many sources of protein! 💪❤️🇨🇦
Autumn, can you please share how you prepare clam and sardines?
Tysm for the food suggestions! I thought I hated sardines but decided to give them a go anyway, and...wow! Love them! ❤ I put them in a green salad like I would salmon, and they're amazing. 🎉
I love these videos.
Some great suggestions. I really like halloumi and didn't realize it was so high in protein. I just eat it because I like it. In regards to kefir, I just want to point out, only because it may be a new word to many watching, but it's pronounced "keh-feer", not "keefer".
I tried tempeh a few years back when I was vegan and hated it. Watching your videos motivated me to give it another try, and this time I really enjoyed it 😋
Love Skyr after I got some when you mentioned it in earlier videos. Soooo good! Thanks Autumn❤

Yes, it's also better to get the grains and make it at home oppose to store bought which is manufactured probiotics.
@@MaryMaguire01 Yes, it's nice to make it yourself. But, with three children and 2 working parents, it's easier to buy it. 😁
Great info 💟
Being Greek, halloumi, shoutout to brothers from Cyprus =
The can of clams you showed only contained a total of 6 grams protein. It's a bit shy of the 27 grams you stated, at least on the can.
Besides your protein powder do you recommend a protein powder I could by in the store that isn’t expensive?
Good thing, Autumn!❤
