Favorite High Protein Greek Inspired Foods?

[toniiv]

I am working on eating a higher protein diet. Doctor says I need to reduce carb intake for my health!

I’m already a big fan of dishes like grilled souvlaki and Greek yogurt, but I’d love to explore more options that pack a good protein punch. I’m trying to keep my meals both healthy and flavorful, and Greek cuisine seems like the perfect fit with all the fresh ingredients and delicious flavors.

Do you have any go-to high-protein Greek recipes or specific foods I should try?

Greek cuisine is perfect for a high-protein diet! You’re already on the right track with grilled souvlaki and Greek yogurt. I’d also recommend trying Greek-style grilled fish, like sea bass or bream, which is packed with protein and healthy fats. Pair it with a simple lemon-olive oil dressing for a delicious, low-carb meal.

Another great option is stuffed peppers or tomatoes with ground beef or lamb (gemista). You can make it with cauliflower rice for a lower-carb version. Don’t forget about halloumi cheese, which is a high-protein, low-carb addition to salads or grilled dishes.
