Here are 5 protein-rich dishes that are delicious and simple to make.

Hummus

Hummus can be a tasty snack or an excellent alternative to butter or cheese. To make it, simply puree some chickpeas that are packed full of quality protein, and add any extra herbs or spices that you think will give it an extra kick.

Chickpea Curry

If you have more chickpeas left after your hummus snacks, why not try a delicious chickpea curry? Simply fry in olive oil with onions, garlic, chopped tomatoes and peanut butter—then you have yourself one tasty and nutritious meal. Serve with oven-roasted broccoli for best results.

Lentil Soup

Lentils are one of the best plant-based sources of protein. Simply simmer with your choice of seasoning and spices for a warming and healthy dinner.

Quinoa Salad

Fresh quinoa salads are a light and refreshing way to inject good quality protein into your diet.

Fruity Oats

Try eating oats with a selection of fruits for breakfast. Not only do you get the nutrition from the fruit and protein from the oats, but you will get slow release energy to set you up for the day.

Here’s how to make them in 4 easy steps.

Prepare Ingredients

First of all you need to assemble your ingredients.

Collect 2 eggs, 40g rolled oats, 75g low-fat cottage cheese, a packet of blueberries, ground vanilla and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon.

Make Batter

The next step is to mix all of the ingredients together and whisk them until combined into a thick but smooth white batter.

Fry the Pancake Mix

Heat some coconut oil in a pan on medium heat—it’s lighter than olive oil and can make the pancakes fluffier.

Then cook pancakes one at a time by pouring some of the batter into the pan.

Cook until golden brown. Add a little more coconut oil between pancakes if needed.

Serve With Your Favorite Toppings

Once they’re all done, serve with your favorite toppings. Personally, I think they go nicely with some strawberries, banana and maple syrup.

Nutrition

These pancakes are packed full of nutrients—the eggs, oats and cottage cheese all contain high levels of protein. They also contain high fiber that aids digestion, while the blueberries are rich in electrolytes, helping to enhance the body’s immune system.

Ingredients

• 2 cups of unsalted unroasted peanuts, extra if you like crunchy peanut butter
• Salt to taste (optional)

Instructions

1. Start by roasting the peanuts on a sheet tray in a 325 F oven for just 5 minutes to develop a nice roasted flavor.
2. Let them cool for a few minutes before you pour the peanuts into the food processor.
3. Turn the food processor on and let it run for 4-5 minutes, scraping down the sides if necessary.
4. After a certain point, you will see the peanuts go from crumbs eventually to a more liquid, smooth state, and all you have to do is keep the motor running until the texture is where you want it.
5. Once it’s as smooth as you like, add salt, run it once or twice more, and pour into a jar.
6. If you do like crunchy peanut butter, take some of the extra peanuts and roughly chop them, and then fold it into the peanut butter!
