Welcome to 25 High Protein Meal Ideas – The Busy Baker’s collection of the BEST easy high protein recipes that make a great lunch or dinner, especially if you’re following a high-protein diet!
25 easy meals that pack a protein punch and taste oh so delicious.

They call for basic ingredients you can find at almost any supermarket, and many of them are budget friendly so you can keep your grocery bill low. AND, they’re perfect for high protein meal prep!
