How to make high-protein meals taste good
If chicken, fish or eggs feature in most of your meals, it helps to have a few ways to cook and season them. Here are some straightforward options.
Check texture as well as flavour
Dry chicken and overcooked fish need a different solution from food that needs more flavour. Pay attention to how you cook the protein, then taste before deciding what to add.
You can marinate one batch before cooking or keep it lightly seasoned and finish portions differently. Use whichever approach fits your routine.
Using Pranasalt
Pranasalt is a flavour enhancer made from 95% Himalayan pink salt and 5% spices: chilli, fenugreek, mango powder, mustard, asafoetida and sesame. Each sachet contains roughly 1g and about 0.2 kcal. It contains mustard, wheat flour and sesame.
Sprinkle it over the cooked meal. Start with a little if the food is already salted. Pranasalt adds flavour; it is not a source of extra protein or a product for changing body composition.
Ideas to try
A marinade
Try yoghurt and spices, lemon and herbs, or a soy-based marinade. Allow time for the recipe you choose.
A favourite sauce
A spoonful of sauce can be enough. Check the label and amount if you are tracking the meal.
Cheese
A little grated parmesan or crumbled feta adds its own flavour. Choose an amount that suits your recipe.
Herbs and aromatics
Try garlic in cooking, or chopped parsley, coriander or spring onion when serving.
Pranasalt
Add a sprinkle to cooked chicken, fish or eggs. The blend combines Himalayan pink salt with six spices in a roughly 1g sachet.
Questions
Why are my high-protein meals boring?
It may be the same recipe too often, too little flavour, or a texture you do not enjoy. High-protein meals do not have to be bland.
What can I use besides hot sauce?
Try lemon and black pepper, chopped herbs, a yoghurt-based dressing or Pranasalt. Use different finishes if you enjoy variety.
Should I season before or after cooking?
Both can work. Adding herbs and spices before cooking flavours the recipe as a whole; finishing at serving lets you adjust each portion.
Does Pranasalt add protein?
Pranasalt is used in small amounts for flavour. It is not a meaningful source of protein.
What does a Pranasalt sachet cost?
A one-time 150-sachet box costs €79 in the EU or £69 in the UK, about €0.53 or 46p per sachet. The monthly plan costs €69 or £59, about €0.46 or 39p per sachet. Use as much or as little as you like with each meal.
