Recipes from a registered dietitian

These are registered dietitian recipes in the most literal sense: I am an RD, and these are what I actually cook and eat. High protein snacks, low FODMAP desserts and balanced plates, with macros where they are genuinely useful.

Almond Coconut Protein Bars

  • High protein
  • No bake
  • Snack

If you like protein bars but not the price, these are my go-to copycat. A few whole-food ingredients, no baking, about 10 minutes of prep.

Chocolate Date Coconut Dessert Balls

  • Low FODMAP
  • Gut health
  • No bake

Gut friendly, bloat free, and proof that you can support digestion without giving up something sweet. For my IBS and SIBO clients who are tired of being told to just remove things.

Mini High-Protein Cheesecake Bites

  • High protein
  • Dessert
  • Make ahead

High protein dessert? Say less. My go-to for a girls brunch, a book club or a dinner party.

Basic Homemade Granola

  • Breakfast
  • Make ahead
  • Customizable

A true staple in our house. Simple, but endlessly customizable: add your favorite nuts, dried fruit, cacao nibs, or whatever you are feeling.

Banana Walnut Chocolate Coconut Muffins

  • Gluten free
  • Dairy free
  • Refined sugar free

Gluten free, dairy free, refined sugar free, and they still taste like a treat.

Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Energy Bites

  • High protein
  • Snack
  • Pre-workout

Soft, slightly sweet, and they actually keep you full. Not one of those snacks that leaves you hungry twenty minutes later.

Savory Sweet Potato Beef Bowl

  • Blood sugar
  • Gut health
  • High protein

The kind of meal that keeps you full for hours, supports blood sugar balance, and still tastes like comfort food.

The Perfect Summer Dinner Plate

  • Balanced plate
  • Summer
  • High protein

Protein, fiber, color and fresh ingredients. Less a recipe than a method, and one I come back to all summer.

How I build a plate

Your body does not recognize foods as good or bad. It recognizes nutrients. That is the whole idea behind every recipe here.

A plate that holds you until the next meal usually has four things on it. Protein, to build and repair. Carbohydrate, to fuel you. Some fat, which supports your hormones. And fiber, which your gut needs. Get those four in and the rest is preference.

No meal has to be perfect. The goal is not discipline for 30 days, it is something you can keep doing for 30 years.

Why some recipes show macros and others do not

Macros help when you are trying to hit a specific protein target, so the snacks and the protein bars list them. For a plate of real food they mostly add anxiety without adding information, so those recipes skip them.

If you want to know what your own numbers should be, that is a conversation, not a blog post. It is the first thing we work out in nutrition counseling.
