One of the worst chores – up there with cleaning the shakers that have been sat in your car – deciding what to eat. Whether it’s breakfast, lunch, or dinner it can be a mission to pick a meal that tastes incredible, while also aligning with your macros.
Enter: ‘Protein Plates’ the new Myprotein recipe book. Full of 60 high-protein recipes that taste great and make you feel even better. In case you’re sceptical, this piece acts as a ‘try before you buy’. We're treating you to 15 recipes from the recipe book. Be warned – they're next level.
Homemade Smash Burgers
Fakeaways are always a good idea – especially at the end of a busy week. Chef it up in the kitchen and then kick back with your feet up ready to start some Friday night binge-watching. Ah, bliss.
Chocolate Orange Energy Balls
A pre-workout treat that packs a zing for your tastebuds and your energy levels. These chocolate orange energy balls are exactly what you need to power your muscles through your next workout.
Mighty Peanut Caramel Shake
Allow your muscles the chance to recover the right way. With 37g of protein plus calories and carbs all wrapped up in one creamy, nutty shake – just what the doctor, or the PT, ordered.
Soothing Turmeric Smoothie
If there’s one thing that’s for sure, it’s that around here we love to get some extra nutrients in our shakes. And this time it’s all about the curcuminoids found in turmeric.
Breakfast Tacos
Picture one of your favourite Mexican dishes, transformed to make it A-OK for breakfast. That's right – we're talking breakfast tacos. Sausages, wraps, and all of your favourite toppings. They’re sure to make Sunday brunch a raging success.
Homemade Fish Finger Sandwich
In my eyes, you can never go wrong with a fish finger sarnie. Load it up with masses of tartar sauce and you’re off to a real winner. But the biggest win – the macros. 38g of protein and 685kcal for a lunch that will leave you full and satisfied for the rest of the afternoon.
Jammy Baked Oats
It's important to keep things interesting when it comes to midweek breakfasts. And these jammy baked oats do just that. I’m not promising you that they’ll help you spring out of bed, but they definitely make the cold winter mornings a little bit more bearable.
Nourishing No-Meat Balls
The no-meat balls that keep on giving. Got a craving for pasta – serve with a marinara sauce and a plateful of spaghetti. Looking for a delish lunch option – tuck into a sub stuffed with no-meat balls and a rocket salad. Or if you need a winter warmer – dish up with mashed potato and lashings of mushroom gravy.
Whatever you choose plant-based has never tasted so good.
Protein Pocket Onigiri
Protein pocket onigiri – the perfect on-the-go bulking snack. You know us, we’re more than clear on meal-prepping, but snack-prepping is a bit of a new realm for us. But I think it’s going to catch on – especially with these macros.
DIY Protein Granola
Packed full of oats, nuts and a crispy layered bar – this homemade granola trumps store-bought any day of the week. And with 11g of protein per serving, it’s the perfect way to start the day.
Pre-Workout Chocolate-Stuffed Banana Muffins
With not a scrap of added protein, these banana muffins are the perfect pick-me-up before a late-night workout. You’ll be fuelled enough to hit some new PBs, but you won’t be kept up all night.
One-Tray Halloumi Wraps
One-tray halloumi wraps – the simple easy lunch that will inject some life back into your midday meals. And with 21g of protein per serving, they’ll be keeping you satisfied throughout the afternoon.
Creamy Tomato Chicken Sandwich
For the days when ham and cheese isn’t quite cutting it – mix it up with a creamy tomato and chicken sandwich. The perfect Monday lunch to use up any leftovers from your Sunday roast.
Creamy Peanut Noodles
