High-Protein Creamy Tomato Soup
This high-protein twist on a classic comfort food utilizes cottage cheese to create a rich, velvety texture while significantly boosting the protein content. By blending the cottage cheese directly into the sautéed onion, garlic, and tomato base, you achieve a creamy consistency that is much more satiating than traditional versions. The addition of a small amount of maple syrup perfectly balances the natural acidity of the tomatoes, resulting in a smooth, savory soup that provides sustained energy and muscle-supporting nutrients.
High Protein High Fiber Marinara Sauce
This efficient meal upgrade transforms a standard jar of store-bought marinara into a nutrient-dense powerhouse by incorporating blended lentils. By pureeing the lentils into the sauce, you significantly increase both the plant-based protein and dietary fiber content without drastically changing the classic tomato flavor profile. The result is a thick, hearty sauce that is far more satiating than plain marinara, providing a substantial boost of iron and complex carbohydrates to your favorite pasta or vegetable dishes.
Nutrition Information (per serving)
Based on a 24 oz jar of standard marinara sauce and 1 can of no-salt-added lentils. Values vary by brand.
Edamame Avocado Salad with Miso Dressing
This bright and refreshing salad is packed with simple ingredients yet vibrant flavors. Edamame is a plant-based protein powerhouse rich in fiber, folate, and essential amino acids, supporting muscle health and digestion. Avocado adds heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, fiber, potassium, and antioxidants that promote brain and cardiovascular health. The miso dressing not only brings deep umami flavor but also delivers beneficial probiotics that support gut health. Tossed with crisp cucumbers, cilantro, and lime, this salad is both satisfying and energizing.
Everything But the Rice Paper Salad
This salad takes all the vibrant, crunchy, herby, sweet-savory elements of a rice paper roll… without the rolling. It’s fiber-forward, anti-inflammatory, and full of color and texture. We use mango from April–September (specifically the smaller, sweeter yellow mangoes) and Asian pear from October–March, keeping this salad fresh and seasonal all year long.
Avocado, Jicama & Citrus Salad
This bright, fiber-forward salad makes the most of winter citrus season, when oranges and grapefruits taste their best. Crisp jicama, creamy avocado, and juicy citrus come together in a simple anti-inflammatory bowl that you can mix in minutes. It’s refreshing, satisfying, and a perfect contrast to heavier cold-weather meals.
Quick Tip:
Save time by grabbing peeled and cut jicama at the store—no need to tackle the tough outer skin at home.
Southwest Quinoa, Black Bean & Roasted Corn Salad
This colorful, fiber-rich salad blends hearty quinoa, black beans, sweet roasted corn, and caramelized sweet potatoes with bright lime, fresh cilantro, and a smoky taco seasoning kick. Fresh spinach leaves add extra greens and texture. Serve it warm or chilled as a side or add avocado for a light main dish.
