Protein recipes

I do this but as a smoothie. I do 2 scoops of protein (50g) and also add half an avocado for good fats. Pretty delicious treat to start your day off or as a snack.

Sounds tasy!! i do love avocado in smoothies - tastes more like mousse then.

Vegetarian Meal lunch prep for the week.

2 cans of black beans

1 Can of pink or pinto beans

1 can of crushed tomatoes

1/2 cup basmati & 1/2 cup quinoa mixed and cooked.

Season beans as you want.

Chili or Indian spices work well

Split for 5 days of lunches topped with a bit of cheese.

591 calories, 31 grams of protein, 86 carbs, 16 g Fiber, 13 g fat.

And because the rice is cooked then cooled it becomes a type 3 resistant starch. Bonus!

Lower glycemic index, and less calories absorbed. So Carbs drop to about 80g & fiber up to 20 g+. Gut health bonus too.

I will add random things like edamame and chopped veggies to the rice, if I have them in the fridge

Want a bit more protein? Drop in some seitan, and you can get 50 g+

I’m very simple. I like cottage cheese on sourdough with a couple sunny side up eggs! Delicious. Pair it with an Oikos yogurt and you have a high protein and fiber breakfast

Thanks - great ideas but very hard to find wraps in vietnam.. but love the ideas!

You should be able to find an easy recipe (if you like to cook). Or use an egg as a wrap? Or even easier just throw it on some lettuce as a salad?

You're lucky to have so much fresh wonderful foods there!!
