If you’re looking to get your protein fix there are plenty of tasty and convenient options in Wainwright’s Yard.

One of the most fun ways to boost your protein intake is by making your own peanut butter at Another Weigh. This hands-on experience lets you grind your own peanut butter. It’s made from 100% peanuts (a mix including red-skin peanuts), with absolutely no hydrogenated oils, added salt or sugars. Just pure, nutty goodness. Not only is it healthier, but grinding your own also helps reduce packaging waste — a small but meaningful win for both you and the planet.

One of peanut butter’s biggest strengths is its versatility. Stir it into porridge or overnight oats for a comforting breakfast, slice up some apples to pair it with for a quick afternoon snack, or add it to noodle and satay dishes for a rich, savoury kick.

Josie at Another Weigh says she stirs through hand chopped peanuts to give her family the crunch they like.

Or, head over to Booths for a wider selection of nut butters to suit every taste, plus a great selection of protein-rich staples. From lean meats and fresh fish to eggs, dairy products, and plant-based alternatives like tofu, lentils, and chickpeas, it’s easy to stock up on all the essentials.

Shopping here makes it simple to build a weekly meal plan that keeps your protein levels high without sacrificing variety or flavour.

When it comes to dining out, Pizza Express offers some protein-packed options. Their menus include dishes featuring lean meats, as well as seafood options like prawn toppings or anchovies, which can boost your protein intake.

Even vegetarian dishes can be protein-rich if you opt for toppings like halloumi, beans, or extra cheese. Pairing your pizza with a side salad or beans can add an extra layer of nutrients to round out your meal.

Whether you’re making your own nut butter, shopping for high-protein ingredients, or enjoying a meal out, head to Wainwright’s Yard in Kendal.
