If you’re anything like me, you want meals that are high-protein, actually satisfying, and still feel fun to eat—not boring, bland “healthy” food. Lately, I’ve been focused on creating recipes that check all the boxes: easy, nourishing, and genuinely crave-worthy.

Today I’m sharing two of my current go-to recipes: my high-protein chia seed pudding (creamy, filling, and perfect for breakfast or a sweet snack) and my viral cottage cheese pizza crust that’s packed with protein and actually tastes like pizza.

These recipes are:
