Good to know

How long do these take?

Half are done in about 32 minutes. The quickest is around 20 minutes and the longest about 65 minutes, so there is something here whether you have a spare hour or twenty minutes.

Is every recipe here high protein?

Every recipe in this collection is written without ingredients that break a high protein diet. We cannot vouch for the brands in your cupboard or for cross-contamination in your kitchen, so check labels as you normally would.

How many calories are in these?

Most land between 369 and 1072 calories a serving. Every recipe shows its own calories plus protein, carbs and fat, calculated per serving rather than per batch.

Do these come with a grocery list?

Yes. Any recipe here can be added to a grocery list that adds up quantities across everything you have chosen and sorts it by aisle, so two recipes needing onions become one line.
