3-Ingredient High-Protein Meals From TikTok That Actually Taste Good

1. Cottage Cheese Pancakes

These viral pancakes are soft, fluffy, and loaded with protein thanks to cottage cheese. Perfect for breakfast or a quick post-workout snack.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup cottage cheese (use low-fat or full-fat based on preference)
• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup rolled oats

Instructions:

• Add cottage cheese, eggs, and rolled oats into a blender.
• Blend on high until smooth and lump-free. The batter should be slightly thick but pourable.
• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly spray with cooking spray or brush with oil.
• Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake.
• Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface. Flip carefully and cook another 1–2 minutes.
• Serve warm with a drizzle of honey, a spoonful of Greek yogurt, or fresh fruit.

2. Salmon Rice Bowl

This one went mega-viral on TikTok — a simple, satisfying bowl that’s both high in protein and flavor.

Ingredients:

• 1 cooked salmon fillet (about 6 oz)
• 1 cup cooked rice (white, brown, or sushi rice)
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

Instructions:

• Place leftover or freshly cooked salmon in a microwave-safe bowl. Flake it with a fork.
• Add the rice on top of the salmon. To reheat and keep moisture, place an ice cube on the rice, cover with parchment or a microwave-safe plate, and microwave for 1–2 minutes.
• Remove ice cube, stir everything together, and drizzle with soy sauce.
• Mix well until salmon and rice are evenly seasoned.

Optional upgrade: top with avocado slices or a drizzle of sriracha mayo (not counted in the 3 ingredients, but highly recommended).

3. Egg & Spinach Wraps

This one is quick, protein-packed, and portable. You only need three ingredients, but it feels like a full meal.

Ingredients:

• 2 large eggs
• 1 large whole-wheat tortilla
• 1 cup fresh spinach leaves

Instructions:

• Crack the eggs into a bowl, whisk well with a pinch of salt and pepper.
• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and spray lightly with oil.
• Pour in the eggs and scramble until just set.
• Add the spinach to the eggs and cook for another 1–2 minutes until wilted.
• Warm the tortilla slightly in a dry skillet or microwave for 10 seconds.
• Place the egg-spinach mixture onto the tortilla, fold, and roll into a wrap.
• Slice in half and enjoy warm.

4. Greek Yogurt & Protein Powder Pudding

A creamy, dessert-like snack that’s actually filling and great for hitting your protein goals.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (2% or 5% for creamier texture)
• 1 scoop chocolate or vanilla protein powder
• 1 tablespoon peanut butter

Instructions:

• Place Greek yogurt into a medium mixing bowl.
• Add protein powder and whisk until smooth and fully incorporated. (No dry clumps!)
• Stir in the peanut butter until swirled through.
• Chill in the fridge for 10 minutes before serving for a thicker texture.

Optional toppings: a sprinkle of cocoa nibs or sliced bananas.

5. Chicken Avocado Boats

This TikTok favorite is quick, filling, and tastes way fancier than the effort it takes.

Ingredients:

• 1 ripe avocado, halved and pitted
• 1 cooked chicken breast (shredded)
• 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt

Instructions:

• Scoop out a little of the avocado flesh to create space in the center.
• In a small bowl, mix shredded chicken with Greek yogurt until creamy.
