Creamy Lemon Greek Yogurt Pasta
This Creamy Lemon Greek Yogurt Pasta is my go-to comfort food for spring and summer! Made with protein pasta and a bright, creamy yogurt sauce, it’s a filling vegetarian option with 36 grams of protein that’s SO good. I love adding in hidden veggies and fresh, zesty flavor for a quick to prepare, super versatile dinner that’s loved by both the kiddos and adults in our family! Make this easy, healthy dinner in 25 minutes or less for the ultimate weeknight win.
Oatmeal Cream Pies
I love this Homemade Oatmeal Cream Pies Recipe! Growing up, Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pies were one of my favorite treats. So, I had to create them for my Foods We Grew Up On series, and they taste even better than the original if I’m being honest. Made with simple ingredients like oats, almond flour, and cottage cheese for a little extra protein, they’re soft, chewy, perfectly spiced, and filled with a sweet, fluffy cream filling. My kids love them just as much as I do and they’re so much better than store-bought!
Margarita Ice Cream
This Margarita Ice Cream is creamy, refreshing, and tastes just like my favorite summer drink! Made with 8 grams of protein and no refined sugar, it’s a better-for-you treat that’s perfect for summer and alcohol-free, meaning it’s perfect for kids, too. With its sweet flavor and thick, creamy consistency, you’d never guess this isn’t traditional ice cream! I make it with my Ninja Creami, but I’m also including an easy blender option in case you don’t have one. Either way, this is one of my favorite warm-weather treats and I know you’ll love it, too!

Zebra Cakes Recipe
I am OBSESSED with these copycat Zebra Cakes that look and taste even better than the Little Debbies version. I grew up loving Zebra Cakes, so I knew I had to put my own better-for-you spin on them. These are free from preservatives and made with simple ingredients like almond flour and cottage cheese for a healthier, protein-forward twist. These cakes are soft, fluffy and filled with a light buttercream and a white chocolate coating that’s SO good, and after lots of testing they’re honestly perfect. Top them off with the signature “zebra” drizzle and you’ll never go back to the boxed version again!

I first saw this viral recipe on Instagram and knew I needed to make my own healthy, high-protein version, and after lots of testing I am completely obsessed. A crisp veggie base topped with spicy buffalo turkey, seasoned crispy rice, extra buffalo ranch sauce (measure with your heart), and all the best toppings.

Strawberry Cloud Matcha
This Strawberry Matcha Latte Recipe is my take on the viral matcha cloud drinks I’ve seen floating around online. Instead of using matcha to create the topping, I create a strawberry cloud that’s light, fruity, and fluffy, thanks to the use of cottage cheese (really!). It sits perfectly on top of the best sweet, cold matcha base for a picture-perfect latte that’s almost too pretty to drink. It only takes 10 minutes to make and has 6 grams of protein, making it one of my favorite afternoon pick-me-ups!
