Fuel Your Strength Goals — Discover Advanced Muscle Plus Ingredient Metrics (1 Serving) Ingredient Quantity Wild-caught salmon fillet 4 oz (113 g) Cooked brown lentils ¾ cup (165 g) Baby arugula 2 cups (40 g) Cherry tomatoes, halved ½ cup (75 g) Nonfat Greek yogurt ⅓ cup (80 g) Fresh lemon juice 1 Tbsp (15 ml) Extra-virgin olive oil 1½ tsp (7 ml) Fresh dill, chopped 1 Tbsp (4 g) Pumpkin seeds, toasted 1 Tbsp (9 g) Sea salt and cracked pepper to taste Kitchen Preparation Science This bowl stacks two muscle-supporting proteins from different worlds: salmon delivers complete protein plus omega-3 fatty acids that help support joint comfort, while lentils bring plant protein, slow-burning carbohydrates, and steady energy for the afternoon.

Research on adults over 40 points to leucine-rich protein at each meal as a practical way to help support muscle maintenance as the body’s response to protein becomes less efficient with age. Arugula and tomatoes round out the bowl with potassium and vitamin C, and the toasted pumpkin seeds add crunch plus a second plant-based leucine source.
