High Protein Fall Recipe Roundup
Fall is one of my favourite culinary seasons! All the warm and deeply cozy meals that feel like a cuddle in a blanket. I also think Fall is a great time to go hard on our fitness goals, particularly strength training. Something about the weather being cooler, the days being shorter, it’s easier to lock in. Well, if you want to hit your protein goals with ease this season to get those gains… look no further! I’ve rounded up 10 High Protein Recipes to fuel you through harvest season.
1. High Protein Butternut Squash Soup
Smooth, creamy and naturally sweet, you’d never guess cottage cheese is boosting up the protein count on this fall classic. Pair it with a protein-rich side like grilled chicken for an even bigger protein boost.
2. High Protein Chicken Pot Pie
Comfort food doesn’t get much cozier than chicken pot pie. Tender chicken and vegetables tucked into a flaky crust make this a satisfying option for a chilly evening. This recipe cuts down on calories from classic recipes while boasting 42g of protein per slice.
3. Sheet Pan Chicken Sausage, Squash and Apples
Sweet apples, roasted squash and savoury sausage are a match made in fall heaven. Even better, everything cooks together on one pan for an easy dinner and minimal cleanup.
When the temperature drops, bring out the slow cooker and let it simmer away. A traditional beef stew loaded with root vegetables makes an incredibly satisfying cold-weather meal jam packed with 40g of protein per serving!.
