High-Protein Bowls
High-protein bowl recipes: a base, a real portion of protein, and toppings, with the protein per serving on every one.
A bowl makes it easy to build a meal around the protein: start with the protein, put it over a base, and add toppings. There are 7 recipes here, running 21g to 45g of protein per serving, from chicken or salmon over rice to black beans over quinoa, ground turkey over cabbage, and a sweet cottage cheese bowl for breakfast.
Most of the protein comes from what goes on top. Rice and cabbage add very little, and even quinoa carries less protein per gram than the beans, chicken, or salmon it's paired with, so the protein you pick and the portion decide most of the number on each recipe card.
