Try and resist the heavenly aroma of ginger, garlic, and Indian spices sizzling in a hot pan. Spoiler: you can’t! Inspired by palak paneer, this dish is creamy and spicy – but our version is dairy-free, high-protein, and gut-friendly.
We swapped crispy tofu for the cheese, and added our Naked bone broth for an extra 15g of protein. Combined with the tofu and nutritional yeast, you’re looking at almost 40g of protein plus fiber, amino acids and essential nutrients for a healthy gut.
Tip: make extra and toss in the freezer for an easy, high-protein meal another day.
