This is one of those recipes that’s so good, I wish I’d known about it my entire life. Japanese sweet potatoes give this concoction a perfectly sweet and nutty cookie dough taste without the refined sugar and flour. Japanese sweet potatoes can be found at Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s under the name “Murasaki sweet potato,” but if you can’t find them, go for a white or purple sweet potato instead, which has a drier texture than its orange cousin.

Too hot to turn on the stove? No problem! This quick and simple shrimp with avocado and basil-cilantro salad uses pre-cooked shrimp, which means all you need is a knife, a cutting board, and some fresh ingredients to whip up a fresh, macro-friendly meal.

High-protein pancakes made without protein powder? Yes, please. Made with just a handful of ingredients, these pancakes use low-fat cottage cheese to add a punch of protein. But don’t worry, they don’t taste like cottage cheese and all the curds are blended away, so even if you’re not a fan of cottage cheese, these pancakes will still hit the spot.

Nothing says summer like our refreshing peach mango salsa made with in-season fruit and spicy peppers. Pair it with our Foolproof Fish Tacos for an epic macro-friendly meal.

Chickpeas? In a dessert? Oh yeah! These cinnamon roll blondies are perfect for when you want to get in some extra protein but also want an indulgent, bake-ahead dessert. With loads of cinnamon and tangy lemon but no butter, eggs, or oil, even the carnivores will be coming back for more—and no one will ever know that chickpeas are the main ingredient.

Whether you’re following keto or just looking for some decadent ways to meet your protein and fat macros, these little protein peanut butter fudge squares will do the trick. If you’re feeling extra, drizzle some melted chocolate over the top (but don’t forget to adjust your macros).

The classic egg in a hole is always a crowd pleaser, so we spruced it up by swapping toast for nutrient-rich acorn squash.

Our truffle kale salad with pomegranate and pecorino cheese is both macro friendly and restaurant worthy, thanks to our WAG black truffle hummus dressing, nutty pecorino cheese and juicy pomegranate seeds.

This comforting red snapper with coconut curry broth is elegant, flavorful and surprisingly simple to prepare. If you can’t find red snapper, you can substitute any whitefish including tilapia, grouper, cod or orange roughy.

Hummus as a salad dressing? That’s right. With nothing more than adding a little lemon juice and water, store-bought hummus transforms into the easiest, creamiest macro-friendly dressing. With so many flavors to choose from (Garlic! Rosemary herb! Roasted red pepper! Chipotle!), your salads will never be boring again.

Everyone needs a go-to banana bread recipe, but most of the recipes out there are laden with so much sugar and oil that the bread may as well be called banana cake.

Cooking macro-friendly meals can lead to a random assortment of leftovers that need to be used up, especially with carbohydrate-dense foods like pasta.
