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 :)
PROTEIN NO BAKE COOKIES
These Protein No Bake Cookies are thick, fudgy, and melt in your mouth! Think similar to haystack cookies, cow patties, or mud cookies. They get their protein from collagen, which offers many benefits for the skin, gut, and joints. As always, these cookies are gluten-free, dairy-free, and low in sugar! I love the chocolate peanut butter combo but you can use other nut or seed butters as well.
COLLAGEN COOKIE SKILLET FOR TWO
This Collagen Cookie Skillet for Two is the ultimate healthy Valentine's dessert! It's got chewy cookie edges, a gooey cookie center, and melty chocolate chips throughout. But that's not all - this giant cookie is also lower in sugar with added collagen protein, and gluten free and dairy free. Try it with protein ice cream for an extra protein boost!
CHICKEN SHAWARMA & MEDITERRANEAN VEGETABLES
This Chicken Shawarma & Mediterranean Vegetables has been on repeat for meal prep - it's so flavorful! Think spiced crispy chicken thighs with savory roasted vegetables, satisfying couscous, and dill yogurt sauce. This recipe can be made dairy-free using plain unsweetened coconut yogurt, or gluten-free using quinoa instead of the couscous. For vegan, you could try marinating tofu in the spices, olive oil, and lemon! However you make it, I hope you enjoy!
PROTEIN CARROT CAKE BAKED OATMEAL
This Protein Carrot Cake Baked Oatmeal is such a treat to wake up to... it's even better cold! This baked oats recipe has warm spices, shredded carrots, plump raisins and yummy coconut (optional). It’s also vegan and gluten free, with a healthy serving of plant based protein. Yes, my obsession with carrot cake is real and this version did not disappoint!
BEEF BROCCOLI (GLUTEN FREE)
My husband loves Chinese food, so I decided to try to make a gluten-free Beef Broccoli recipe. It’s flavorful, easy to make, and perfect for meal prep! Besides being gluten-free, it's also dairy-free as well as Paleo and Whole30-adaptable (without the rice). It's delicious served over ghee-fried cauliflower rice!
CHOCOLATE MINT PROTEIN BROWNIES (VEGAN)
I don't know about you, but I'm a huge chocolate mint fan! These vegan Chocolate Mint Protein Brownies combine rich fudge brownies with mint chunks and mint cream frosting. They're simply divine. Oh and you'll love this... each brownie is just over 100 calories with 7 grams of protein, flourless, and gluten-free!
HONEY MUSTARD CHICKEN SHEET PAN DINNER
This Honey Mustard Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner is pan-licking good! Yes, I have no shame in my pan licking’ game haha. I couldn’t get enough of this meal — from that tender glazed honey mustard chicken to the flavorful roasted butternut squash to the crispy Brussels! Best of all, it all comes together in less than an hour (and most of that time is oven time). Gluten-free and easily made dairy-free, too.
CINNAMON SWIRL PROTEIN BANANA BREAD
If you love cinnamon rolls and also have spotty bananas sitting around, this recipe's for you! I'm talking Cinnamon Swirl Protein Banana Bread with a drizzle of sugar free icing on top... yum! The swirl is way easier to make than you'd think and adds a ribbon of cinnamon sugar goodness to every bite. As always, this recipe is gluten free and dairy free as well.
