My anti-inflammtory dinners have been all the rage lately with you guys, so I had to assemble another list of high protein dinners!
These are all packing 25g of protein and are perfect for the summer weather. Easy to make, filled with flavor, and yes, anti-inflammatory.
My special favorite is salmon with mashed avocado at #6. The most anti-inflammatory and easiest dinner I’ve ever made, so it’s my go-to when I’m craving seafood.
