Easy and Healthy Muscle Building Recipes

For bodybuilders, or anyone who likes weight lifting and is looking for foods to help build lean muscle, you must remember that lean proteins are your best friend. You will really want to get between 20 to 30 grams of protein with each meal, to attain the best results you are looking to get. So, adding protein shakes, protein bars, protein powders, are all great for snacks, but when you are looking for quick meal ideas, there are several ideas you can turn to, in order to get the lean protein, and the muscle building you are looking for. Here are a few quick, no cook recipes you can try at home.

First, you can make a tuna-avocado pita wrap. This will keep you full for hours, until your next snack, due to high protein and healthy fats. All you need is a can of tuna, 1/2 cup sliced avocado, a whole-wheat pita, spinach leaves, a couple apple slices, and any other veggies you choose. You will simply place all ingredients in the wrap, and have a great tasting, high protein meal in minutes, without the need to even pull out a pan to cook it up in.

Another great quick option is a granola bowl. To start the day with a great breakfast, this is a quick easy fix, which takes minutes, and packs in all nutrients, fats, and proteins you are looking for in one bowl. Simply get 1/2 cup raw oats, 2 tbsp almonds, 1 tbsp pumpkin seeds, 1/2 scoop of protein powder (vanilla is great since you are adding additional flavoring), 1/2 cup skim milk, 1/2 cup berries, and other fruits (optional, such as dried cranberries). This can all be mixed together, and you can even raw honey on top, to get the additional sweetness you are looking for. This easy fix takes seconds to prepare, and will definitely keep you full for a morning workout.

You can also quickly make up a spinach salad. Adding in high protein, lean meats, such as chicken or turkey breast, shrimp, or any other lean fish, along with several of your favorite vegetables (tomatoes, mushrooms, olives, and anything you like). You can add 2 tbsp of olive oil based dressing for taste, and you will have a great lunch or dinner option for you.

Any meal you choose can be quick and easy to prepare, all you need to remember is high protein, low fat (and use healthy fats), low carbs, and calorie free seasoning options can be added for taste. Making a great meal is easy to do, if you utilize all the options you already have at home.
