Jazz up an old favorite by combining crunchy coleslaw with the smoky flavor of chipotle beef.  Not only will these Chipotle Sloppy Joes satisfy all tastes, but they are full of nutrients to help fuel healthy, active lifestyles.  Beef is an excellent source of protein, a powerful nutrient to fuel strength.  Protein can supply energy for your body and keep you going strong all day.    

National nutrition guidelines recommend that protein intake make up 15-35 percent of the calories in our diets. The average American diet is currently only 15 percent protein, which means there is a lot of flexibility when it comes to increasing our protein intake and staying within expert recommendations. 

There are many health benefits for including high quality protein, like lean beef, in your diet.  Some of these include lowering risk of heart disease, improving blood sugars, making bones stronger and of course, managing your weight.  For more information on the power of protein, visit the Healthy Living section on http://www.txbeef.org/.
