These PB&J Protein Pancakes are a family favorite! It's hard to beat the nostalgic combo of peanut butter and jelly. They are super tender and fluffy with just a few ingredients. We love that they're gluten-free, dairy-free, and high in protein too! These pancakes can also be made vegan.
It's super close to summer so I'm craving all the salads! This Avocado Peach Steak Salad combines seared steak, ripe avocado, juicy peaches, crunchy pecans, tart goat cheese, and red onions over a bed of mixed greens with homemade orange balsamic vinaigrette. It's gluten-free and dairy-free if you skip the goat cheese! Definitely one I will be making on repeat because it's so good.
One flavor combo that never gets old is peanut butter and jelly! These PB&J Protein Blondies have all that nostalgic flavor with a boost of plant-based protein. Think moist peanut butter base with jelly or jam swirled throughout! These yummy squares are also gluten-free, dairy-free, and easily made vegan.
You know when you want a "fancy" breakfast, but don't want to slave away in the kitchen? This Collagen French Toast Bake is the ticket! All that cinnamon maple goodness... with no fuss or standing over a pan. This yummy breakfast casserole is gluten free and dairy free with added protein from the collagen. I topped mine with blueberries, powdered sweetener, and sugar free pancake syrup!
Sometimes you just get a craving for nachos! I've seen bell pepper nachos floating around the internet, and decided to make my own Healthier Beef Nachos that are dairy-free, gluten-free, macro-friendly and less inflammatory than your traditional nachos. They've got all the goods: tortilla chips, taco beef, tomatoes, jalapeños, olives, dairy-free cheese, guacamole, and sour cream (dairy-free Greek yogurt). I used baked tortilla chips and lean ground beef to lower the fat, and added some bell peppers to up the veggies! Swap the beef for meatless crumbles if you need a vegan version.
I can't get enough of these refreshingly sweet Mini Key Lime Protein Cheesecakes! Think rich key lime cheesecake with a nutty almond flax crust, topped with coconut whipped topping. These luscious treats pack 10 grams of protein each, thanks to the added collagen. They're also low carb and low in sugar! Did I mention these are gluten free and dairy free? Ohhh yes.
This Tandoori Chicken Meal Prep has all the flavor without any hard-to-find ingredients! I've tried my fair share of disappointing tandoori chicken recipes, but this one is incredibly succulent and perfectly spiced. Serve this India-inspired chicken recipe with roasted curry vegetables and turmeric brown rice for a balanced meal. This recipe is gluten-free and can be made dairy-free with cultured plant based yogurt.
Don’t feel like making breakfast for a few days? These White Chocolate Strawberry Protein Muffins offer plant-based protein, and are gluten free and dairy free. You're going to love these fluffy, moist muffins filled with vanilla chips and fresh strawberry chunks. They are seriously so easy that the kids can help!
These Chocolate Protein Breakfast Cookies are such a great way to use up ripe banana! After making my regular Protein Breakfast Cookies, I just know I needed a chocolate version! Of course, they are macro-balanced and low in sugar, making them the perfect breakfast. These soft oatmeal cookies have a hint of cocoa, and are gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan. Feel free to mix in chocolate chips, dried blueberries, nuts, or whatever else you feel like!
Now that the weather is finally warming up here in Utah, I am craving all the fresh vegetables and pasta salads! This Italian Chicken Pasta Salad is gluten free, macro-balanced, and easily made dairy free or vegan. Did I mention it's so flavorful? It's got homemade Italian dressing, garlic chicken, crumbled feta, olives, spinach, tomatoes, and fresh dill. You can make it dairy free by omitting the feta, and vegan by replacing the chicken with chickpeas (or simply use protein pasta)!
These Morning Glory Protein Muffins are an explosion of happy flavors! They have grated carrot, shredded apple, chopped pecans, orange, and ginger. Of course I made them gluten-free, dairy-free, and packed with protein! These muffins make a convenient breakfast or snack. Feel free to add raisins, coconut, or pineapple juice in place of the orange juice. You can also make these vegan by substituting the egg white for ground flax!
I've been wanting to make Protein Hot Cross Buns for awhile now! Hot Cross Buns are a traditional Easter dish, a lightly sweet roll full of raisins and spices (think bagel meets roll for texture). I used orange icing for the symbolic cross on top which signifies Jesus' death on the cross. Since tomorrow is Good Friday, I thought what better day to post this recipe! You can make these luscious rolls with or without the yeast or collagen. This recipe is surprisingly easy, and as always, gluten-free and dairy-free ;)
