To further increase your protein intake, try these high-protein breakfast recipes or vegan meals and learn how to pack protein into your diet.
Classic cobb salad
What looks a fairly simple platter is a meal in itself, with a whopping 38g of protein. Add bread if you're feeding a crowd.
Ginger chicken noodle salad
A delicious dressing and crunchy salad are a match made in heaven, while a good helping of chicken raises the protein content.
Healthy chicken and lentil salad
Lentils contribute protein and fibre, helping make this an all-round nourishing meal. The crunch and fresh flavours of the beans and mangetout are a perfect contrast to the lentil base.
New potato, broad bean and chorizo salad
Fabulous Spanish flavours, including classic manchego, make for an indulgent meal that provides 30g of protein and half your recommended daily fibre.
Super salmon salad
A couple of cheat ingredients help this easy meal come together in just 20 minutes. Choose a freekeh base for a low-GI option that contains additional nutrients like calcium, potassium, iron and zinc.

Halloumi, kale and tahini salad
