The high-protein lineup

Ten WellNest recipes picked for their protein-to-calorie ratio — the ones that keep you full without blowing the calorie budget. Every one is 3-ish ingredients and actually easy.

Nutrition figures are estimates per serving, calculated from the recipe ingredients using USDA data. Actual values vary with brands and portions. Two recipes (Coconut Cocoa Bites, 3-Ingredient Guacamole) carry their schema-published values.
