PROTEIN
RECIPE
BOOK 1
Introduction
Thank you so much for downloading our High Protein Recipe Book
from Nutrifix.

Protein is the building blocks of your bones, muscles and cells in the
body. And is essential for creating hormones, red blood cells and
for keeping our brain functioning. Protein also helps you stay feeling
full for longer and can help with weight loss. In short it’s an essential
macronutrient.

That’s why we wanted to share this recipe book with you. The recipes
are also nutritionally balanced, simple to make and prepared in a
way, where whole, unprocessed, seasonal products do most of the
work.

We would love to see your creations, so please tag us in your photos
