10 High-Protein Recipes for Dinner

Looking for an uncomplicated, pleasantly light dinner that will provide you with plenty of protein overnight?

That's exactly why we've put together a whopping 10 high-protein dinner recipes for you here. The best part: In addition to being light, varied, and packed with protein, they also bring an extra serving of indulgence to the table.

Vegan protein lasagna with wraps

Even Garfield knew: Sometimes it just has to be lasagna. But this protein lasagna with wraps combines indulgence with a clear conscience. In terms of taste, it can hold its own against any conventional preparation, while providing more than 40 g of vegan protein per serving.

We easily replace traditional ground meat with textured soy - cooked in vegetable broth, the soy flavor disappears completely. The usual ingredients are added, from tomatoes and garlic to olive oil. But the special twist is the protein wraps. They replace the typical lasagna sheets while directly boosting the protein content of your meal.

The real highlight, however, is the béchamel substitute: simply mix vegan crème fraîche with unflavored protein powder.

High-protein dinner recipe: vegan Bolognese

Pasta is like jeans - simply an indispensable basic. The Vetain protein pasta ensures that the nutritional values also provide a solid foundation for meeting your protein needs in the evening. The dish contains a full 42 g, an excellent value for vegan pasta.

The secret lies in using textured soy as a ground meat substitute for the Bolognese and vegan protein powder hidden in the sauce. Simply set aside some of the salted pasta cooking water and stir in the unflavored powder until smooth. This makes it easy to blend smoothly into the tomato sauce.

As with any pasta, there are plenty of ways to add variety: for example, nutritional yeast or vegan Parmesan as a topping, different vegetables, as well as beans or chickpeas for even more protein.

Ideal for meal prep: delicious protein bowl

If you like things quick and sweet, you will find your favorite dinner in this vegan protein bowl. The preparation is incredibly simple: Just blend all the ingredients and let them sit for a few hours. Conveniently, your meal will be ready when you get home from your evening workout.

Vetain Vegan Protein in the cocoa flavor, along with oats and vegan quark, provides an impressive 45 g of protein per serving - and an infinite amount of enjoyment. Because when cocoa meets banana, it can only be delicious.

Top it with a brownie protein bar, chopped nuts, or nut butter to increase both the enjoyment and the protein content once again. The great thing is that if you are not in the mood for chocolate, you can easily transform the entire recipe into a creamy vanilla dream.

Crispy and Easy: Protein Pizza Dough

Dolce Vita comes to mind in the form of a delicious pizza with 65 g of protein - simply irresistible! The neutral Vegan Protein in the dough makes it possible. It also requires only a minimal number of ingredients.

The only thing is that you need to allow some time and manual work: knead the dough and let it rise for around an hour and a half. You should not already be completely ravenous while you wait. After the waiting time, you can shape the dough and top it with your favorite ingredients. Toppings such as vegan mozzarella or smoked tofu provide even more protein.

Extra tip - this is how this protein pizza is for everyone: If you cannot tolerate regular pizza flour, simply choose a gluten-free alternative.

The Best Protein Wraps

Wraps are wonderfully versatile, and there is practically no one who does not like them. With these protein wraps, you get 9 g of protein per serving. The stars here are dried red lentils and creamy peanut butter.

Plan enough time in advance to soak the lentils for six hours or, preferably, overnight. But after that, everything goes quickly: puréed, the legumes become the base for the batter - made from just one ingredient, it hardly gets more minimalist.

Simply spread it in a lightly oiled pan, fry for a few minutes on each side, and you'll almost be ready to eat. Just don't forget the filling: These wraps are filled with delicious peanut butter, and you can also add more, such as fruit or chopped nuts.

Tip: In the mood for something savory? Then replace the filling with guacamole or hummus.

Hearty Vegan Lentil Stew

When you want something warm and hearty, a hearty lentil stew is just the thing. It not only provides a satisfying 20 g of protein per serving, but also plenty of comfort food for cold days.

Lentil stew is another recipe that is perfect for meal prep: You should soak the lentils overnight in advance anyway. They then go into hot vegetable broth together with sautéed vegetables and tofu.

Various herbs, spices, and a little vinegar create the traditional spicy flavor that simply warms you from the inside.

Pea Soup Like Grandma Used to Make - But Vegan

Some traditional dishes are too good not to recreate as vegan, high-protein recipes for dinner. Our pea soup is no exception! Onions, celery, and a bay leaf - be sure to remove it after cooking! - provide its unmistakable flavor.

Vegan sausages enhance the classic flavor, and if you like, you can even add vegan bacon bits. Alternatively, smoked tofu is also an excellent choice.

From a slightly runny version to a thick and extra-creamy pea soup, you can adapt the recipe precisely to your taste. In any case, one serving provides around 27 g of protein.

Fluffy Protein Rolls for Every Meal

Sometimes you simply don't have the time or desire to eat a hot dinner. In that case, a cold meal of bread with crunchy homemade rolls is a great alternative. Even better when the rolls provide 10 g of protein.

Soy quark and neutral vegan protein powder provide the generous amount of protein in the dough. Flaxseeds, psyllium husks, and sunflower seeds, if desired, round off these nutritious rolls.

Simply enjoy it with plant-based spreads. Vegan cheese, cold tofu slices, or vegan sausage are also delicious with it. Snack on vegetable sticks or olives alongside it for a quick yet hearty dinner.

Vegan protein bread with seeds

A vegan protein bread is a lifesaver for every situation. Whenever hunger strikes, simply enjoy a few slices - with a clear conscience and good nutritional values. Spelt flour, unflavored protein powder, and seeds make it a vegan protein powerhouse.

Simply knead a dough from the ingredients and, after the resting time, place it in a loaf pan lined with baking paper. Let it cool briefly after about 30 minutes of baking, and you're ready to go.

With the delicious protein bread and your preferred spreads or toppings, you can easily put together a classic supper.

Vegan high-protein pan pizza - enjoyment after just 15 minutes

Our favorite dish from Italian cuisine and an extra portion of protein can certainly go hand in hand. This vegan pan pizza provides you with a whopping 80 g of protein! It requires no yeast dough at all. It also doesn't keep you waiting long, but is already on the table, crispy and savory, after just 15 minutes.

For the quick dough, mix spelt flour, wheat gluten, Vetain Vegan Protein, vegan Skyr alternative, salt, and baking powder. Then shape the sticky dough - don't worry, it's supposed to be that way - into a pizza shape using plenty of flour.

Now it gets hot: put it in the non-stick pan and turn on the stove. Top the pizza with sauce and vegan grated cheese and bake it with the lid on until the crust is lightly browned. Add salami or smoked tofu and put the whole thing in the oven for two or three minutes - after all, the cheese should melt nicely.
