A high protein diet isn’t just for muscled up bodybuilders. Protein is getting its time in the spotlight as one of the latest healthful food trends, with consumers looking for new ways to pack this powerhouse macronutrient into their everyday meals.
Crafting a high protein diet means more than just stocking up on chicken and cottage cheese. To maximize protein intake, recipes for fun, easy-to-make meals with plenty of flavor and variety are key. Our list of high protein cookbooks approach the topic in new, delicious ways. Shred Happens: So Easy, So Good integrates the protein focus with the doctor and taste bud-approved Mediterranean diet, while Vegan Wholesome showcases plant-based methods for boosting the protein power in every meal (throwback to another favorite food trend–beans). And of course the protein trend is great for anyone shifting into a carnivore diet. Books like Carnivore-ish, Meat Illustrated, and The MeatEater Fish and Game Cookbook all have their own unique take on the best way to serve up meaty, protein-forward feasts.
