These High Protein Pepperoni Pizza Muffins make the perfect grab-and-go lunch or snack. Each serving has 26 grams of protein and is made with 100% whole wheat. They’re soft, cheesy, and taste like mini calzones. Best of all? They freeze and reheat beautifully. Just warm one up and dip it in pizza sauce!

Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo Bake is a decadent-tasting, wholesome, comfort food casserole that’s so easy to make. It’s high in protein and a little lighter than most Alfredo pastas. Plus it’s freezer-friendly, so double and freeze one for later while you’re at it.
