Skinnytaste High Protein: Healthy Recipes

I love this cookbook! I love all the Skinnytaste recipe books. The recipes in this cookbook are delicious, it includes nutrition information on each recipe and detailed instructions and offers tips and substitutions. The recipes include prep time and cooking time and vest of all are all high in protein . I love the beautiful recipe pictures and the pictures included in the index. I look forward to trying the 4 week meal plan in the book . Buy this book you won’t regret it!

I’ve been a loyal Skinnytaste fan for over a decade and this cookbook is Gina's masterpiece. Every page is packed with recipes that are delicious, fun, easy-to-make, and packed with protein. I am trying to increase my protein intake as I approach menopause after reading studies about how important it is. Right on time, Gina released this book. I don't think I've ever put this many sticky notes on pages of a cookbook before! I made the Monte Cristo omelet sandwich and it was SOOOO GOOD - it felt so indulgent that I couldn't believe how healthy the macros where. Thank you, Gina, for creating another nourishing and inspiring book.

I’ve been making Skinnytaste recipes for years, as they almost always have a great balance of flavor and healthy ingredients. So many online recipes shy away from using spices and end up bland - but not these. I’ve made many many recipes from this author’s blog as well as her one pot cookbook, and most of them are delicious. On to the High Protein cookbook - this was right up my alley as I’ve been trying to increase my protein intake. I’m a fairly fit person and consistently lift and do HIIT workouts, so I try to eat in a way that supports those habits. There are so many quick, easy recipes in this cookbook with interchangeable ingredients. A lot of the same ingredients show up in different recipes (such as edamame, brown rice, avocado, PBFit powder, sriracha, carb free tortillas, etc.) so you don’t end up buying an ingredient for just one recipe then having the remainder go to waste. Love that. So far, I’ve made at least 7 of the recipes from this cookbook, and I plan to try as many as I can. The Caramelized Banana Collagen Bowl is now a go-to of mine for a quick and healthy breakfast. It tastes like bananas foster and keeps me surprisingly full - I keep a container of toasted chopped pecans on my counter to make preparation fast. The Spicy Chicken Poke Bowl was a huge hit in my house, and I even switched out the chicken for holiday leftover smoked salmon and added fresh lightly pickled carrots (asakuze) to use up some of the ingredients later on. The one slight drawback to some of these recipes is that they use packaged ingredients like collagen powder, pea protein, and PBFit - I don’t mind, but I do try to derive most of my protein from natural sources. I now keep these items stocked in my pantry, though. I’m an extremely adventurous eater and I don’t find anything in the High Protein cookbook to be too outlandish, but I could see how picky eaters might not like a lot of the food in this book. I love how the author doesn’t hold back on using a variety of ingredients - not everything high protein has to be chicken or beef. If you hate flavor or spice, this isn’t for you. I purchased 3 copies of this - 1 for me, and 2 as gifts. I can’t recommend it enough and I can’t wait to try all the other meals in it!

Finally a good recipe book with pictures! I need to see what I’m making. Entice me to make this recipe. I like the layout for the recipes with pictures, ingredients, instructions, and labels like gluten free, vegan, etc. They also have all the pictures upfront of the recipes and a protein cheat sheet, which I appreciated both. Also, a some tips and tricks for having a healthy diet but not too much.

Overall seems like a really nice book. I’ve made the Salmon and potato leek soup and it turned out great and tasted similar to the less healthy one I normally make that’s loaded with butter and mainly milk. Love how her recipes have the calorie and nutrition breakdown. Only thing I wasn’t a fan of was the breakfasts included recipes with protein powder and I’m trying to eat more “real” food not relying on supplements to hit my goals. Overall great book with nice layout.
