TVP, Textured Vegetable Protein, is a cheap and super versatile protein source that can work in a variety of recipes! TVP is typically used in savory recipes as a meat substitution, but works amazingly well in baked goods! I love using it to make high protein cheesecake crusts, and high protein muffins and cookies! You’ll find even more high protein TVP baked goods recipes on this website, but these are a few of my personal favorites!

High Protein Peanut Butter Chocolate Cheesecake
You know how some people put a recipe on their gravestone? THIS WOULD BE MINE! This High Protein Peanut Butter Chocolate Cheesecake is 41% protein, which sounds insane. It's so good though that I would eat it even if it had no protein so it's just a bonus! This is an incredibly easy recipe to make; great for beginners! It makes 8 servings and would make a perfect pre or post-workout snack or dessert (also low-key, I will definitely be eating this for breakfast).

Protein Chocolate Orange Muffins
Using TVP in muffins can be a game changer if you're looking for a high protein breakfast; it adds protein but doesn't add the grainy texture or artificial sweetness that protein powder does when you use it in muffins.

TV(P)rotein Pumpkin & Craisin Muffin
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.
