🥗 300+ High-Protein Recipes 📅 Grocery Lists & Meal Plans 🚫Totally Ad-free
Hey hey guys👋
Once again, it’s Thursday, and that means a brand new meal plan just for you!
Looking for a quick and nutritious meal? Then the Ricotta Bake is just what you need! This recipe is a whirlwind of speed – merely 5 min of prep, then it’s oven magic. I’m constantly amazed by how swiftly it comes together. It’s one of those dishes where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
Got leftover rice and veggies? Transform them into a delightful meal with our Spring Vegetable Fried Rice ! Perfect for lunch or dinner, it’s a great one for making sure nothing is wasted. Of course, you can cook it with fresh ingredients too, and all are included on the meal plan!
This week’s breakfasts and lunches are also both speedy to make and absolutely delicious! Enjoy 🙂
On to this week’s stats:
- you’ll be getting 63g protein at about 1260kcals (three main meals);
- or 82g of protein at about 1500kcal per day with snacks, this can be even more, if you decide to skip the Cheese Protein Muffins snack for another protein shake;
- if you include the big snack, then you’ll be at 107g protein at 1990kcal per day.
If you’re not sure how many calories you should be eating please have a quick read through this page on calories .
Don’t hesitate to give me a shout if you have any questions!

PS. don’t forget – further down on this page is a list of which recipes can be made ahead, which can be frozen and some vegan alternatives if you fancy them.

Day 7 is all up to you. It’s a great day for leftovers, or if you want to go out to eat. Buddha Bowls or Burrito Bowls are a great way to use up leftovers. We still recommend keeping the calories to about 1300kcal if weight loss is a priority.
Recipe Tips:
- Fruit Salad with Yogurt: use whatever fruits you like! I definitely recommend whatever your fave is, or whatever is in season near you!
- Greek Pitas: add whatever you fancy, or whatever leftovers you have. Olives, sweetcorn and bell peppers all work really well. Keep the bread and fillings separate if you’re taking the pitas for work.
- Spring Vegetable Fried Rice is a great recipe for leftovers.
- Chocolate Banana Bonkers Overnight Oats: if it’s currently cold where you live, prep them like you would make porridge.
- Manchester Baked Potato: it is cooked in the microwave to save time, but you can absolutely use the oven as well.
- Baked Ricotta: you can cut out the oil completely from this recipe. In place of the oil use vegetable broth – about 50ml to start with, adding a little more if necessary. Mix it in with the lentils before the dish goes into the oven.
- If you include snacks in the meal plan, make sure you select 12 servings of Cream Cheese Protein Muffins for less food waste.
Meal Prep (Quick Tutorial): These recipes can be made ahead.
Generally, we advise to keep them in airtight containers and/or in the fridge. Some of them need to be reheated.
- Fruit Salad with Yogurt
- Greek Pitas (the salad of the Greek pitas)
- Spring Vegetable Fried Rice (make that dish on the spot, but ideally you prep the rice the night before)
- Chocolate Banana Bonkers Overnight Oats (it’ll be even more flavorful that way)
- Manchester Baked Potato (the potato can be reheated, add the topping fresh)
- Cream Cheese Protein Muffins
Freezable:
- Chocolate Banana Bonkers Overnight Oats
- Manchester Baked Potato (the potato itself can be frozen, I’d keep the toppings fresh)
- Cream Cheese Protein Muffins
Vegan Alternatives (More Here)
- Breakfast : Delicious Vegan Bulgur Porridge with Sweet Rhubarb
- Lunch: High-Protein Lentil Tabbouleh
- Dinner: Quick and Easy Vegetarian Thai Green Curry
You can use the ‘recipe vault’ to instantly find great replacement or additional meals, too!
And don’t forget – if you have lots of leftover ingredients in the fridge we highly recommend turning them into Buddha Bowls or Burrito Bowls ! There’s so much choice, and you can throw together virtually everything you have leftover with a tasty sauce!
