The Powered by Protein Cookbook: A Cookbook

Great flavor, super-simple prep, and plenty of protein for real life cravings from the beloved creator of lowcarbstateofmind

For years, Jackie Hartlaub struggled with her health and tried to find ways to feel her best to be more successful in her job as an ironworker. She tried a keto diet, which worked great . . . until she found restrictive eating to be unrealistic in the long term. So she honed in on her cooking—making it delicious so she’ll keep craving it, and making it easy enough so she’ll keep doing it. She started sharing these recipes online, and now millions of followers log in to find hits like her Roasted Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings, Sausages loaded with balsamic-glazed peppers, onions, and mozzarella, and her BBQ Chicken Crust Pizza (yes, the crust is chicken).

In her debut cookbook, you’ll find those hits and more than 85 all-new recipes, like easy Chorizo Egg Bakes, Beef Fried (Cauliflower) Rice with Yum Yum Sauce, and Sheet Pan Shrimp “Boil.” Whether you’re focused on building muscle mass, eating meals that keep you feeling satiated, or supporting your overall nutrition, it can be a challenge to reach your daily protein target.

Power your day with these delectable, high-protein recipes that prove healthy eating can be both effortless and extraordinary.
