Very helpful to see these high-protein recipes. Thank you Richa!
All of these look amazing! Thank you for posting these, I always need more recipe ideas!
Is Gm supposed to be grams?
Tip (if you did mean grams) Generally g is used for grams, I live in Canada and we use the Imperial system which uses grams so that is a thing I know for sure
Sorry I’m not trying to be rude, I just wanted clarification… please
its grams. I do use g within the recipe. I get questions about what it is, so sometimes in the write up i use Gm.
Imperial would be pounds (lb) and ounces (oz). Grams/grammes/kilos/kilogrammes is metric.
This is quite a handy set of recipes. Thank you!!
Very nice post
Thank you for continuing to update your blog with such awesome recipes! I recently had to switch to a vegan diet for health reasons (rare inflammatory disease) and I really don’t know what I’d do without this page!
