High-Protein Dairy-Free Meals
High-protein dairy-free meals with no milk, cheese, butter, or yogurt in the ingredient list.
Every recipe here is dairy-free as written: no milk, cheese, butter, yogurt, or cream anywhere in the ingredient list. There are 22 recipes, running 10g to 53g of protein per serving, with the protein coming from meat, fish, eggs, tofu, and beans.
Dairy shows up in packaged foods more often than you'd expect, including some chocolate chips and many protein powders, since whey and casein are both milk proteins. Check the label on anything packaged.
