Dairy products have a lot of protein, so if you live a dairy-free lifestyle, you might be wondering how to increase protein intake without them. Fortunately, it’s easy! These high-protein, dairy-free dinner recipes are so yummy, very healthy, and incredibly satisfying. Read on to inspire this week’s meals!
Steak and Veggie Kebabs
Steak is one of the foods with the highest amount of protein, and it is incredibly flavorful on its own. Bring out this deliciousness and pair it with healthy veggies by making grilled kebabs.
Steak and veggie kebabs are colorful, tasty, and protein-packed. Grab some tender, juicy steak pieces (go with Wagyu if you’re feeling fancy!) and marinate them in olive oil, garlic, and your favorite spices. Then, skewer them with vibrant bell peppers, zucchini, mushrooms, and cherry tomatoes. A quick sear on the grill or in a hot pan locks in the flavors and leaves you with a dinner that looks like art on a stick.
Black Bean and Quinoa Bowl
Black beans and quinoa are a dynamic duo. Together, they create a protein dream team, and they’re ridiculously easy to throw together. Cook up a batch of fluffy quinoa, then toss it with black beans, roasted sweet potatoes, and avocado chunks or guacamole. Drizzle the bowl with a lime-cilantro dressing, and that’s it. Plus, it’s meal-prep friendly. Thank us later!
Tofu and Garbanzo Curry
We love curries because they’re basically hugs in a bowl. This tofu and garbanzo curry is creamy without the cream and bursting with spice. Start by sautéing cubed tofu in a little bit of oil. Then, toss in garbanzo beans, coconut milk, veggie broth, garam masala, and a good dollop of curry paste. Simmer it all with some spinach or kale until the flavors meld. Finally, serve with rice or naan (or both!).
Lentil Wraps
Lentil wraps are quick, filling, and outrageously tasty. First, cook up some spiced lentils with garlic, onion, cumin, and veggie broth. Next, spoon the cooked lentils onto a tortilla and add toppings (such as spinach, diced tomatoes, and tahini sauce). This wrap will rival anything you’d find at a fancy café!
Now that you have these high-protein, dairy-free dinner recipes at your fingertips, your evenings are about to get a whole lot tastier. Let us know which recipes you end up trying and how you like them!
