Nouravo guide
High-protein meals in 15 minutes
A protein-rich meal does not require specialist products or a long ingredient list. Start with one dependable source and add the rest of the meal.
Four fast warm ideas
Try scrambled eggs with frozen vegetables and bread, microwave rice with kidney beans and salsa, gnocchi with peas and cottage cheese, or couscous with chickpeas and feta.
Seasoning, lemon, mustard, herbs and a small amount of ready-made sauce keep fast food enjoyable rather than dry and functional.
Four no-cook options
Wholegrain bread with cottage cheese and egg, skyr with oats, a tuna or bean wrap, and lentil salad with feta all work without a stove.
Plant-based options include tofu, edamame, legumes and soy products with a useful protein content. Compare labels because similar products can differ.
Build around a protein source instead of trying to add protein as an afterthought.
Keep a small, flexible stock
Beans, lentils, tuna, couscous and suitable shelf-stable products cover the cupboard. Eggs, skyr, cottage cheese, tofu and frozen peas provide flexible refrigerated or frozen options.
Two options in each category are enough. Buying every recommended product often creates waste rather than variety.
