Everything You Need to Know About PROTEIN with Jade Leighton

Hello and welcome back to State of Mind with me, Grace Kingswell.    This is the last episode in the 5 episode mini series I’ve been running pre-baby, and actually by the time it airs I will probably already have that baby - eek! The podcast will be taking a little break whilst I adjust to motherhood, but I will be back with more episodes in the future! I’d love to know if there are any topic Is haven’t covered that you’d like me to look into, or guests that you’d like to hear on the pod - so do get in touch with me via instagram!    So today I’ve got Jade Leighton back on the pod to talk about protein. The idea came to us because we’re constantly astounded by the lack of protein on people’s plates that we see on Instagram, and once we’d decided to do this episode I couldn’t actually believe that I haven’t covered it before, as it’s just so basic and SO essential.    In this episode we cover what protein is, why we need it, whether all protein is created equally, how much you should consume per day, types of protein powders, how to combine plant protein sources, and how to get kids eating more protein too. We cover a LOT, as ever, but it’s such a fab episode and absolutely VITAL listening for everyone.    I think you’ll enjoy this one! As ever, if you do, please go ahead and leave a 5 star review on the apple podcasts app. Jade cna be found, if you don’t know already, @_jadeleighton on instagram   @gracekingswell
