THAI TURKEY LETTUCE WRAPS
Who else loves Thai food? These Thai Turkey Lettuce Wraps are one of those meals we have on repeat because they’re so delicious and satisfying! I just love the savory turkey, fresh veggies, and crunchy peanuts. Not to mention, the peanut sauce is “lick-the-plate” good! These Thai Turkey Lettuce Wraps are dairy-free, gluten-free, and high in protein. For a vegan version, try crumbled tempeh or meatless crumbles instead of turkey.
S'MORES COLLAGEN PROTEIN BLONDIES
The collagen protein bar obsession continues! These S’mores Collagen Protein Blondies have a gooey, chewy blondie texture loaded with cinnamon graham flavor, chocolate and marshmallows, just like everyone’s favorite camping treat. BUT these decadent bars are gluten free and dairy free with way more protein and way less sugar!
PROTEIN BREAKFAST COOKIES (DAIRY FREE)
I’ve made these Protein Breakfast Cookies so many times! They’re irresistibly delicious, super easy, and have awesome macros. Not to mention, these cookies are a great way to use up spotty bananas! The kids love them too, which is sad for me because each “Mommy can I have a cookie?” means one less cookie for mama. Oh well, at least I know they’re eating something healthy!
HEALTHY CHICKEN FRIED RICE
If you're looking for a quick, flavorful meal prep option, look no further than this Healthy Chicken Fried Rice! It's gluten-free, dairy-free, and macro-balanced. Plus, it tastes so good you'll look forward to eating it! You'll only need a few basic ingredients for this easy meal.
BLUEBERRY GLAZED PROTEIN DONUTS
These Blueberry Glazed Protein Donuts combine a tender cake donut texture with juicy blueberries and sweet vanilla glaze. They're gluten-free, dairy-free, low fat and high in protein! Feel free to make these into muffins if you don't have a donut pan - they're delicious either way.
SOUTHWEST STEAK SALAD
This Southwest Steak Salad has been a favorite for years! I mean, it’s hard not to love a salad with steak involved! The steak is seasoned with chili lime and served over fresh lettuce with sweet corn, black beans, tomatoes, peppers, green onion, and ripe avocado. I am also including my southwest yogurt ranch recipe, but you can totally use store-bought yogurt ranch if you prefer!
LEMON POPPYSEED PROTEIN BREAD (DAIRY FREE)
Where are all my lemon lovers at? I’m sucker for anything lemon, but my favorite is this Lemon Poppyseed Protein Bread. This bread is moist and fluffy, sweet and citrusy, and downright crave-worthy! It's dairy-free and can also be made gluten-free or vegan! I won't lie, it took many tries to perfect this loaf, but the effort was well worth the reward.
HEALTHY HAMBURGER HELPER
Who else loved Hamburger Helper as a kid? This Healthy Hamburger Helper tastes like a fresher, home-cooked version of my favorite boxed meal. My version has no artificial additives, and can easily be made dairy-free or vegan! It’s balanced in protein and carbs, and significantly lower in fat and sodium too. Best of all, this one pan meal is ready to eat in under 30 minutes!
BANANA COLLAGEN PROTEIN MUFFINS (GLUTEN FREE)
Muffins are always a good idea for breakfast – especially if they’re these Banana Collagen Protein Muffins! These muffins are low sugar, high-protein, and taste like banana heaven. I had to eat as many as I could before the hubby got them all (he was pretty mad about it too). You can make these muffins low fat using unsweetened applesauce, or use buttery spread and walnuts like I did for a more decadent version.
CARROT CAKE PROTEIN DONUTS (VEGAN)
It’s no secret I love carrot cake – and these Vegan Carrot Cake Protein Donuts tasted even better than I hoped! I am picky with my carrot cake: it has to have cream cheese frosting, nuts, the perfect amount of spice, and a moist, rich texture. These donuts checked all the boxes – and they’re high protein, low fat, and low sugar!
CHICKEN BUTTERNUT PEAR & GOAT CHEESE SALAD
When a salad is this loaded, it’s hard to decide what to leave out of the name… the crunchy pepitas? The chewy dried cranberries? The hearty farro? The roasted butternut squash? The sweet pear? The grilled chicken? The savory goat cheese? The maple dijon dressing? You better just make it for yourself, because this “Chicken Butternut Pear & Goat Cheese Salad” is too good for words! This salad works great for meal prep, too.
THIN MINT PROTEIN COOKIES (VEGAN)
These Thin Mint Protein Cookies are vegan, gluten-free, and low in sugar with a boost of plant based protein! We love this healthier dupe of the Girl Scout classic. My husband ate several before I could even photograph them, and the kids quickly gobbled the rest! They're totally irresistible :)
