These protein-packed dinners make a perfectly balanced dinner!
11. One-Pot Chicken and Veggie Ramen Stir-Fry
Ramen has certainly gained in popularity over the past few years, but that doesn’t mean you have to enjoy it with that MSG-laden sauce packet. Skip the soup altogether and enjoy your 24 grams of protein in stir-fry form. That lets you load it up with veggies while still enjoying the chewy ramen noodles.
12. Ground Turkey and Sweet Potato Skillet
This cheesy skillet meal will fill you up while keeping things surprisingly light. That’s thanks to the lean protein in ground turkey, not to mention all those scrumptious vegetables. You’ll get 19 grams of deliciously filling protein with this easy to make dinner.
13. Slow Cooker Chicken Satay
When you’re in the mood for take-out, opt for this slow cooker meal instead. The brown rice keeps things nice and healthy while the chicken brings the protein punch. These 25 grams of protein are made by slowly simmering the lean chicken in a delicious sauce. All in the slow cooker, too, so it’s nice and hands-off.
14. Italian Spaghetti Squash Casserole
Spaghetti squash keeps things light here by making a great substitution for carb-heavy pasta. And, choosing a turkey or chicken sausage in this dish makes it heart-healthier while still packing in 16 grams of protein. You’ll love the texture in this Italian-inspired treat.
15. Slow Cooker Hot and Sour Soup
Hot and sour soup is not only good for what ails you, it’s also filled with plant-based proteins! These 20 grams of protein will fill you up while keeping you feeling light. You’ll also get a full serving of vegetables between the carrots and mushrooms.
This list needs more plant based protein meals, please…
