High Protein Meals

If you’re trying to hit your protein goals without sacrificing flavor, you’re in the right place. This collection of high-protein recipes includes everything from satisfying breakfasts and lunches to easy dinners and high-protein snacks you’ll actually look forward to eating.

I’ve personally been focusing on eating more protein since 2020, and along the way I’ve learned what really works—both for nutrition and for flavor. So many of you asked how I get enough protein throughout the day that it inspired me to write my cookbook, Skinnytaste High Protein, which features over 100 recipes with 30 grams of protein or more.

In the meantime, explore these high-protein recipes below.

A classic Cobb salad with a light summer twist. If you live on the coast like me and have access to fresh lobster, this salad is a must! If you’re worried about cooking a live lobster, many seafood stores will steam it for you. Crab or shrimp would also make an excellent substitution.
