A little prep, a lot more protein
Most of our recipes follow a simple, flexible shape you can prepare ahead and adjust to the meal and your appetite.
Start with a useful base
Cook a breakfast or meal base — oats, eggs, rice or grains — you can lean on for several meals.
Add a satisfying protein
Choose a protein you enjoy and keep it flexible, so the same base works in different meals.
Adjust the portion
Scale servings up or down to fit the meal and your appetite — substantial when you want it.
Store the next portion
Portion and cool leftovers properly so tomorrow’s meal is ready with almost no effort.
