All tagged high protein salad
If you have ever attended a talk of ours or been a client of Kat’s you know one of her favourite vegetables for just about all areas of health is beetroot. It’s great for heart, liver and hormone health. We grate a large batch of beetroot to keep in fridge and add to salads through the week. With the quinoa, feta and seeds you are looking at around 25g of protein for this salad.
A high protein salad with the added benefit of broccoli, a cruciferous vegetable that supports liver and hormone health. I always stock green beans and edamame beans in the freezer as quick options to add to dishes.
A perfect warm salad for when it gets colder and you need some warmth. The addition of pomegranate seeds also makes it more wintery in my eyes. Squash contains beta-carotenes which our body converts to vitamin A to help support our immune system.
A high protein Asian inspired salad which is super easy to prepare and cook. I cook my salmon in the air fryer as it is done in minutes - but you can cook the salmon in the oven if you prefer.
A colourful and high protein vegetarian salad with crispy halloumi and chickpeas. A lunch time salad is the perfect time to pack lots of nutrients and colour onto your plate. This is also robust enough to pack in a container and take to work to be enjoyed.
In our midlife ensuring we have enough protein in our diet is essential. Ideally we want to hit around 20-30g of protein with each meal. We find many people find this a struggle for lunch. This lunch contains a whopping 36g of protein and with no meat added. Serve with one of our salad dressings. See our blog post for our 6 favourite dressings. To make your life easier you can either batch cook quinoa and black lentils at the weekend for easy lunches or use ready cooked pouches.
Roasted summer vegetables with puy lentils is such a delicious combination. I served with halloumi - but it’s equally as delicious with feta cheese. This is a great recipe if you are looking to use up some courgette from a glut. This salad can be served without the halloumi for a delicious side to a BBQ.
Eating more pulses is such a great way to increase fibre in your diet. They also contain protein so this salad will easily keep you full until your next meal. We use Puy lentils for this recipe as they don’t require soaking and hold their shape well in salads. For ease you can buy ready cooked Puy lentils from Merchant Gourmet.
We love the lebanese salad tabbouleh and here we have paired it with quinoa and halloumi to ensure more protein. The added protein will help to keep you fuller for longer and keep those blood sugars stable.
A salad with halloumi is always a winner for us. Easy to put together and can be enjoyed on its own or added to a lunchbox and taken to work.
