For years, I believed I was doing everything right when it came to “healthy eating.”
Egg whites, grilled chicken, low-fat dairy, protein bars, protein shakes… I was constantly trying to hit my daily protein target, thinking it would help me stay lean, energized, and in control of my body.

And honestly, I get why.
We’ve been told over and over again—by diet culture, fitness trends, and even some health pros—that more protein equals more success. But what if that high-protein path is quietly working against us?

Because it was for me.

If you're ready to fuel your body with meals that are delicious, nutrient-dense, and 100% plant-powered, you're in the right place. These are my tried-and-true favorites that I come back to week after week. And the best part? They’re satisfying, protein-packed, and filled with fiber and flavor. I’ve also linked to some incredible recipes (mostly from Love & Lemons—a plant-based goldmine) so you can try them out today!
