Easy make at home protein meals

During the hot summer months most of us tend to reach for salads, fruit, and lighter meats, they just seem more appealing. 

But the next time you reach for that lighter meal think about this; the same things that make protein a great post workout meal, also make it great to eat in the summer. 

Protein can improve hydration in the muscles, and increases the absorption of water from the intestines. It also provides essential amino acids to the skin, so what's not to like?
