103. Eating More Protein on a Budget as a Family of 5

from The Farm Family Table⏐Homesteading, Homemaking, Christian Mom · host Jocelyn Jennings

One thing I don’t think we talk about enough is how much protein moms actually need and how many of us aren’t getting nearly enough of it. Between pregnancy, postpartum, breastfeeding, chasing kids, managing homes, and carrying the mental load of family life, our bodies are doing a lot of work every single day, whether you realize it or not. But when it comes to meals, protein is often the first thing to fall to the wayside. In this episode, I talk about eating more protein on a budget, especially when you’re feeding a family. We’ll walk through how to know if you might need more protein, why this matters so much for moms, and practical, affordable ways to increase protein without buying expensive “health foods” or cooking separate meals. So if you’ve been feeling low-energy or overwhelmed by the idea of eating well for yourself and your family, you are in the right place. We are going to address all of these issues today.
