Still need inspiration for what you could soon serve for lunch or take with you in your meal-prep box? Is it required to be vegan, quick and easy to prepare, and high in protein?
Then our 8 high-protein lunch recipes are just right for you. They meet all your requirements and are so delicious that you would think you had spent weeks taking cooking courses and working at the stove.
High-Protein Pasta Recipe - Vegan Bolognese
A pasta recipe is simply a must, all the better when it is a high-protein lunch recipe: This turns the Italian classic into a delicious source of protein.
Our pasta provides 42 g of protein per serving! We achieve this by using textured soy protein as a protein-rich meat alternative: Simply soak the pieces in vegetable broth.
Then sauté the onions, garlic, chopped vegetables, and your meat substitute one after another. Add tomato paste or passata, and your sauce is well on its way. For an extra protein boost, mix Vegan Protein Neutral with some of the pasta water and stir it into the sauce.
Tip:
It becomes even higher in protein with lentil noodles. This also makes your meal gluten-free, if that is relevant to you or your guests.
The Best Protein Wraps
Our homemade protein wraps are simply the perfect all-rounders. With this recipe, you can easily make them yourself, with 9 g of protein per serving.
- Wash the lentils and soak them in plenty of water for at least six hours.
- Drain the soaking water.
- Blend the lentils with 300 ml fresh water and salt until a smooth batter forms. An immersion blender works too.
- Heat a little oil in a small pan.
- Spread some batter throughout the pan by swirling it around, for thin wraps.
- As soon as air bubbles form in the dough, it is time to turn the wrap over.
- Turn the wrap over and bake it for at least another two to three minutes on the other side.
Vegan High-Protein Pan Pizza - Without Yeast Dough
Our vegan high-protein pan pizza without yeast dough turns pizza night into a truly protein-rich affair. Instead of classic yeast dough, it uses a protein-rich mixture.
Here's how: Knead all the ingredients into a dough. The neutral Vegan Protein provides an extra portion of protein right from the base. Then top the pizza with sauce and vegan cheese and bake it briefly. Next, add smoked tofu, vegan salami, or whatever else you like as toppings. Bake for another two to three minutes and your high-protein pizza is ready.

Delicious protein lasagna with wraps
Our protein lasagna with wraps is my favorite: It provides 43 g of protein per serving and is perfect for taking with you as meal prep. And it's outrageously delicious too.
The necessary steps are also very straightforward. First, prepare a Bolognese sauce with soaked textured soy protein and fresh vegetables. Add this as the first layer to the bottom of your baking dish. Then add a suitably trimmed protein wrap, followed by some more sauce and a quick and easy homemade protein cream made from protein powder, vegan crème fraîche, and plant-based milk. Repeat this until your dish is nicely full. Sprinkle vegan cheese on top and be patient for about half an hour while the oven does its job.
Protein pizza dough - crispy and easy
Can't get enough of high-protein recipes for lunch that involve pizza? Then here's another true classic - traditionally made with pizza flour and yeast.
- Dissolve the yeast in water.
- Add the remaining dough ingredients and knead everything for at least 10 minutes knead it thoroughly - the dough will benefit from this just as much as your arm muscles will.
- Afterward, both you and the ball of dough can relax: Let it rest covered for 60-90 minutes.
- Then place the dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and shape it into a pizza.
- Let it rest in this form for another 15 minutes.
- Then add the sauce and toppings.
- Bake for 8 to 15 minutes, depending on your oven, then you can dig into your protein pizza dough.
Vegan lentil stew - hearty like Grandma's
Our vegan lentil stew is hearty, delicious, rich in protein, and suitable for meal prep for several days if you like. Ideally, soak the lentils overnight beforehand so they need to cook for significantly less time.
Here's how to do it in six simple steps:
- Cut the vegetables and smoked tofu into bite-sized pieces.
- Sauté with onions in oil.
- Deglaze with vegetable broth.
- Add the lentils.
- Put the lid on and cook the lentil stew over low heat for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Only add the salt, herbs, and other spices at the end.
Traditional split pea soup - truly warming
Craving vegan split pea soup like you used to have? You can now enjoy it vegan and high in protein, so let's get started!
Peel and dice the onions and vegetables. First, sauté the onions, optionally with some vegan bacon. Then fry the peas with them. Pour in about one and a half liters of water. Now let the soup simmer for 70 minutes - but don't go too far away; you need to stir it occasionally and possibly add more water.
Finally, add the vegetables and plenty of salt. Simmer for another 15 minutes and season to taste with suitable spices.
Tip: Add vegan sausages for a traditional flavor.
Protein bowl - chocolatey indulgence without any baking
Brownies for breakfast? In the form of a creative protein bowl, it's incredibly easy! This chocolatey version can be mixed together quickly, requires no baking, and provides a delicious 45 g of protein per serving.
First, mash a ripe banana and mix it with vegan quark, cacao protein powder, rolled oats, and chopped nuts. A splash of plant-based milk makes the bowl nice and creamy. Depending on your taste, you can also add cacao powder or a little vanilla.

Then cut a brownie protein bar into small pieces and spread it over the bowl together with nut butter, cacao nibs, banana, berries, or additional nuts. Practical: You can prepare the bowl the evening before - so it is perfect for meal prep.
