Looking for some dinner inspiration this week? If you’re looking for high-protein meals to support your health and longevity, I’ve got you 😍. These five recipes are some of my favorites for tasty dinners that make us feel amazing. They also make great leftovers for lunch, so it’s a total win-win.
I know it can feel overwhelming to eat well these days. There are so many messages out there! You should eat 5 (or is it 7?) servings of fruit and veg a day, get 30 different plants per week for gut health, boost protein for satiety, muscle growth, and longevity, avoid saturated fats, aim for 30 g of fiber a day, and also stay mindful of your micronutrients. Honestly, when you list it all out like that, it sounds exhausting!
That’s why I love plant protein, it ticks so many of these boxes in one go. Beans, for example, are an amazing source of protein and fiber, plus they’re rich in micronutrients like iron, calcium, and zinc to keep your body functioning at its best. And of course, they count toward your 30 plants a week for gut health. How good is that?
And if all of this still feels a little confusing, don’t worry. Just pick one of the recipes below and begin there. We’ve already done the homework to make sure they have everything you need to thrive and feel your best. Even adding just one of these to your weekly routine is a powerful step toward better health.
