These cookies may not be the most visually appealing, but they are tasty, super fast and easy to make, and 44% protein! The protein comes from the TVP (Textured Vegetable Protein) which gives these cookies kind of an oatmeal-cookie texture. They aren’t really the kind of cookies you would bring to a Holiday cookie trade, unless you’re trading with a bunch of gym bros… but they are really great for a high protein and healthy breakfast or snack. And as far as protein cookies go, they’re better than anything you’ll find at the store, and cheaper too (and we’re also not using protein powder to make them)!
This is a perfect high protein meal for a Fall day! It comes in at 36% protein because of the TVP (Textured Vegetable Protein) that is used for the stuffing. Usually TVP is utilized in dishes such as tacos and sloppy joes, but it actually works great as a high protein substitute for when you might otherwise use rice or quinoa.
This Butternut Squash Chickpea Curry is amazingly 33% protein, because we used TVP (Textured Vegetable Protein) as a substitute for rice (which would normally be used). It’s such a good Fall dish, easy to make and hard to screw up. It’s great for meal prep because it makes 4 servings!
These Stuffed Peppers are protein and fiber packed! We get 35% protein because we are using TVP (Textured Vegetable Protein) instead of rice or quinoa that’s typically used in a recipe like this!
While the TVP Cookies might obviously be “protein” cookies, these are just delicious on their own, and pack in a surprising 21% protein! My partner didn’t even know I had put TVP in these, and actually said they were better than the other muffin recipes on this site. The TVP works so well in these muffins – it gets nice and soft in the muffin body and a little crispy in the muffin tops! These are also pretty high in fiber! They are a great little pre-workout snack! If you want the macros to be even better, you can leave out the chocolate chips and craisins.
