3 HIGH PROTEIN RECIPE IDEAS
enquiries@thedietologist.co.uk
If you follow me on my social media channels you will know that I like to share some of my favourite quick and easy recipes. Over this month I am focusing on protein, so here are some easy high-protein recipe ideas.
Two-Egg Omelette with Cheese
This quick and easy omelette with grated cheese is packed with protein and flavour and takes just minutes to make!
Ingredients:
2 eggs
1tsp olive oil
28g grated cheese
Salt & pepper to taste
Method:
Beat the eggs with a pinch of salt & pepper, and heat the oil in a frying pan. Pour the eggs into the pan and tilt the pan from one side to another until the eggs cover the surface completely. Cook for 20 - 25 seconds then scrape a line through the middle. Some of the eggs should still be runny.
Move the pan around again until the runny egg has filled up the surface again and then repeat again until the egg has set.
Scatter the grated cheese over the tip and then fold the omelette in half. I love to add chives and mushrooms for added texture and flavour!
This should make 1-2 servings.
Protein: 14g for the omelette, 7g for the cheese.
Tuna Salad
A tuna salad is a high protein meal that makes for a great lunch or dinner! It couldn’t be more simple - just chop the ingredients and add to a bowl.
Ingredients:
145g tin of tuna
Some green leaves
5 cherry tomatoes
1 inch chopped cucumber
This should make 2 servings.
Protein: 18g
To increase the protein further, why not add 3-4 tbsp plain Skyr yoghurt (5-7g protein)
Easy Lentil Soup
This simple lentil soup is a healthy and comforting lunch on cold days.
Ingredients:
750ml vegetable stock
75g lentils
1 large carrot, finely chopped
1 stick of celery, finely chopped
½ onion, finely chopped
Method:
Boil the lentils in the stock until the lentils have started to soften. Add the chopped vegetables, cover and simmer for 45 mins until all the lentils have broken down.
This should make 2-3 servings.
Protein: 6g - you can add 2 tbsp protein yoghurt or a dollop of cream cheese or tofu if you want to add more protein.
There’s always room to add in protein, it’s just knowing how. Let me know if you try out the recipes and your ideas about pimping up the protein.
