Greek Yogurt
A single serving of Greek yogurt can contain up to 20 grams of protein.
It's a versatile option that can be enjoyed on its own, mixed with fruit, or added to smoothies for a creamy texture.
These tiny seeds are a powerhouse of protein, with about 4 grams per two tablespoons.
They can be soaked overnight to create a delicious chia pudding or sprinkled on top of yogurt or oatmeal.
As the price of eggs soars due to the shortage caused by bird flu, many people wonder what protein-rich options they can include in their diet to replace eggs. An average egg has between five and eight grams of protein depending on its size, so it's no wonder it’s a great choice to start your day. But there are other just as healthy options you can try, according to nutritionists.
“Protein is a vital component to a healthy breakfast,” says Jessica Jones, a registered dietitian and certified diabetes educator, according to SELF.
Protein helps to keep you full and satisfied longer, preventing mid-morning hunger pangs. It also aids in muscle repair and growth, which is essential for maintaining overall health and fitness. Moreover, protein has been shown to stabilize blood sugar levels, providing a steady stream of energy throughout the day. Including protein-rich foods in your morning meal can also improve cognitive function and concentration.

Discover the Tranquil Color Collection at HGTV Dream Home 2025

Hopefully you'll get inspired to freshen up your home this spring.
Classic beige turns warm and earthy with Caramelized, the Dunn-Edwards 2025 color of the year. Caramelized is a shade of terra-cotta brown that puts a modern, sun-soaked twist on nostalgic neutrals. The soft color is versatile enough to fit any design style, from retro to contemporary.
“In the current fast-paced, high-tech age, we find ourselves drawn to more saturated and timeless colors to create personal spaces that feel welcoming, stylish, and grounded,” says Lauren Hoferkamp, lead color expert at Dunn-Edwards, in a press release. “When considering the draw to a mindset of ‘old is new,’ Caramelized emerged from our 2025 Color and Design Trends as a clear representation of this new year."
Consider pairing Caramelized with off-white or cream colors to make a room feel light and airy or with darker colors like navy or charcoal for a moody, modern feel. Caramelized also pairs beautifully with light wood accents, like natural wood trim or furniture.
Glidden by PPG introduced a stunning jewel tone—Purple Basil—for its 2025 color of the year. The hue is a rich, approachable, and welcoming shade of violet that can be easily used in any style of home, whether traditional or modern. Purple Basil merges design styles and signals a shift in what homeowners are looking for in their spaces—more color and fewer neutrals.
Asked to describe Purple Basil in three words, Ashley McCollum, PPG color expert for Glidden, calls it bold, opulent, and homey. She says the color is equally cozy and warm as it is opulent and rich, making it a perfect paint for those who want to dive into color but still want a sense of security. While shades of purple might have seemed difficult to incorporate in the past, Purple Basil makes the color feel more accessible.
Purple Basil can be used on both interior and exterior walls and features. McCollum predicts that homeowners will use the purple hue on both front doors and shutters, as well as on porch ceilings. Inside, she suggests the shade be used in offices and bathrooms, as well as on kitchen cabinets. Color-drench an entire space for an eye-catching statement or create contrast with patterned wallpaper. Be sure to get a sample first—depending on the paint’s finish or texture of the surface it’s applied to, the paint can morph into various shades, some leaning more blue and others more red.
MARCH 2025:
Spring Cleaning and Decluttering
Over the years, you’ve accumulated a surplus of personal belongings: home decor, spare linens, and duplicate kitchenware.
While collecting things can make a house a home, too much stuff can decrease your productivity and negatively impact your overall well-being.
Seize on the spring cleaning spirit and declutter your living space following these top tips:
DECLUTTER ONE ROOM AT A TIME
- Designate a “maybes” box and set a reminder to go through it in a month to make the final cuts.
- Check the expiration date on products and perishable goods and throw out expired items.
- Review your wardrobe seasonally and donate or toss any unwanted garments.
Believe it or not, a decluttered, organized home can help you progress towards your other New Year’s resolutions, such as saving money and living a healthier lifestyle.
For instance, a deep clean creates a healthier environment by removing dust and other irritants from the air that cause allergies. Decluttering also helps you save money as you rediscover forgotten items and avoid buying duplicates.
Decluttering your home is a game-changer if you’re planning to sell soon. A clean, organized space makes your home more appealing to buyers. Plus, it can generate an additional $11,706 in proceeds.
