High Protein Recipes
This creamy green orzo is everything I want in a comfort meal. Silky, herby, and secretly packed with plant protein. The “sauce” is just blended peas, spinach, basil, parsley, cashews and pine nuts, so you get that rich, cheesy flavour with zero dairy. It’s a 20-minute one-pot dinner that still feels a little bit fancy.
This one came together with Sarah from plantbaes and it’s exactly the kind of dish I love creating with her. Texture-driven, nutrient dense and packed with flavour.

This recipe has approximately 70 g of protein per batch, making it the perfect protein-rich dip for…
These have quickly become one of my go-to snacks. Soft, marinated tofu wrapped in nori and sealed in rice paper for a crisp, golden shell once baked or air fried. Think dumpling energy with way less effort. The tamari-maple marinade does the heavy lifting here, and it doubles as your dipping sauce so nothing gets wasted. They’re packed with plant protein, ridiculously moreish, and just as good eaten…

Gado-gado is one of those recipes that instantly transports me back to Bali. I learned to make it on my first solo trip there, and it’s stayed with me ever since. It’s a traditional Indonesian salad made with blanched vegetables, crispy tempeh, tofu, and a rich, creamy peanut sauce that brings everything together. What I love…
