high protein lunch

Tuna Egg Salad is my go-to high-protein lunch when I need something quick – it takes about 15 minutes to make and can be meal prepped ahead.

Tuna Egg Salad

eggs

2.6 oz packet light tuna

mayonnaise ((check labels for whole30))

red onion

salt and pepper (to taste)

Chop the eggs and add them to a bowl with the tuna, mayo and red onion.

Mix to combine and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Eat right out of the bowl with a spoon or piled on a piece of toast, in a wrap, over greens, etc.

Seasoned smashed chickpeas make this vegan avocado toast high in protein and extra filling. The perfect savoury breakfast! Can be gluten free.

High Protein Vegan Avocado Toast

bread (gluten free if needed)

½ large avocado (use a whole avocado if yours isn't large)

apple cider vinegar

chickpeas (rinsed & drained)

Sea salt & black pepper

Microgreens, herbs, homemade sauerkraut or radish slices to garnish

Toast slices of bread.

While bread is toasting, combine avocado flesh and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl. Mash with a fork or hands until almost smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

In another bowl, mash chickpeas (this is definitely easiest using hands, though you can use a fork) until flaky. Season with salt and pepper.

Spread avocado mixture over toast slices, and top with smashed chickpeas.

Decorate with sprouts, microgreens or radish slices and serve!

Discover our High Protein Chicken Crunch Wraps – a perfect blend of juicy chicken, fresh veggies, and a satisfying crunch. Ideal for meal prep, quick lunches, or post-workout meals. Easy, healthy, and packed with flavour!

(1.6lb) - Chicken Breast, Diced or Sliced

Garlic Powder

Smoked Paprika

½ tsp (1 grams) - Dried Chilli Flakes (Optional)

Salt & Pepper

Wraps

(10.5 ounces)

Garlic Cloves, Grated

Tomatoes, Finely Diced

(8.8 ounces) - Mozzarella Cheese

Baby Romaine Lettuces, Shredded

Cheesy Nacho Chips

Season Chicken

Add the chicken, spices, and seasonings, except the oil, and combine them in a bowl.

Sear Chicken

Place a pan over medium-high heat, add oil, and sear the chicken for 4-5 minutes or until just cooked through. Remove and set aside. If your pan isn’t large enough, do this in batches to avoid steaming the chicken.

Garlic Yogurt

Add the high-protein yogurt and garlic to a bowl and mix well. Season to taste.

Wrap

To assemble the wraps, lay one large wrap and spread it with garlic yogurt. Place the lettuce, tomato, chicken, cheese, and chips (if using) on the plate. Place one small wrap over the top and fold the large wrap around the small to create a pentagon-style shape. Once rolled, sit it on the seam side to prevent it from unwrapping.

Toast

In a dry pan over medium heat, add the Crunchwrap seam side down and toast for 2 minutes or until golden. Flip and repeat. Remove from the pan. Slice the crunch wrap in half and dig in.

Store Crunch Wraps

Store in airtight containers, food-safe paper, a ziplock bag, or aluminium foil. It will last 4 days in the fridge and 3 months in the freezer. It can be eaten cold or hot and reheated in an air fryer, pan, oven, or microwave.

An egg is the organic vessel containing the zygote in which an animal embryo develops until it can survive on its own, at which point the animal hatches. An egg results from fertilization of an ovum. Most arthropods, vertebrates, and mollusks lay eggs, although some do not, such as scorpions and most mammals. Reproductive structures...

dijon mustard

Start by making the hard boiled eggs. You can follow my classic stove top hard boiled egg recipe, or my instant pot eggs or air fryer eggs.

Once cooked, rinse under cold water and peel.

Separate the yolks from the egg whites and discard 2 of the yolks. (My dog loves them!)

Chop the eggs and combine with mayonnaise, dijon mustard, scallions, salt and pepper. You can scale this up to prep ahead for the week.

This recipe is easy and delicious!
I’ve made it several times, always a winner!

These recipes are awesome but it would be really helpful if when they are found in a cookbook to actually list which one they are found in.

I am trying to get healthy again!  Made this today with what I have at home using pickles instead.  Turned out great!

So happy I  found skinnytaste.com. Recipes are so healthy, WW friendly and most of all delicious!

The perfect meal prep breakfast. I triple the recipe and make every Sunday for the week. It's so easy and super good.

I love the flavor with adding Dijon and kosher salt. Wow

This is exactly how I make my egg salad. I like to add dill as well.

If you're ready to up your lunch game these Greek-style skewers and slaw are ideal.  Everything can be made in advance and keeps well in the fridge, so feel free to double the recipe if you want to get more meals prepped for the week.
