I am still pinching myself! My protein-first approach has been featured on so many amazing platforms since my book launched, but today was such a big day for me. This launch season for The High-Protein Plate has been an absolute whirlwind—from spending three weeks on the New York Times Bestseller list, to heading to the studio to chat with the crew at the TODAY Show (!!).
High-Protein Meals from The High-Protein Plate
We spent the morning diving into my “protein-first” approach and my passion for making high-protein meals anything but boring. We talked about how hitting that 30–40g protein threshold per meal is the ultimate “satiety hack” to quiet food noise and keep your energy stable all day long.
I also got to showcase five top recipes from the book that prove high-protein eating can be so simple:
- Ready-When-You-Are Breakfast Sandwiches: My go-to for busy mornings with 32g of protein. You can wrap these up individually and throw them in the freezer until you’re ready to eat.
- Shredded Chicken Quesadillas: A nostalgic comfort food classic turned nutrient-dense powerhouse. It’s so easy and can be made with store-bought rotisserie chicken to make it even easier.
- Passionberry Smoothie: A tropical, 35g protein blend that’s perfect for post-workout recovery, nutrient-dense breakfast, or afternoon meal or snack.
- Crispy Ranch Air-Fryer Chickpeas: Such an easy high-protein snack to keep stocked in your pantry. Super crunchy in minutes and I love this ranch-inspired seasoning mix! Great to add on top of salads or simply grab from the bowl to get 11g of protein.
- Bone Broth Rice: My favorite sneaky hack to nutrient-dense rice with added collagen protein.
