The Myprotein cookbook has arrived for anyone who wants their meals to pull their weight without tasting like punishment in a bowl. Titled Protein Plates, the limited-edition hardback brings together 60 high-protein recipes from the Myprotein Kitchen, designed for busy people who want food that fits their training, their schedule and, crucially, their appetite.
This is Myprotein’s first-ever cookbook, and it lands in that very familiar space between good intentions and an empty fridge. You know the one. You’ve finished training, your body is asking for protein, your brain is asking for biscuits, and the pan in the cupboard has not seen action since Pancake Day.
Protein Plates is built to make that moment a little less tragic.
A High-Protein Cookbook For Everyday Fitness
The Myprotein cookbook is not trying to turn readers into Michelin-starred macro mathematicians. It is pitched as a practical kitchen companion for people who want simple, useful, high-protein food without needing a degree in nutritional science or six different flours from a specialist health shop.
Inside Protein Plates, readers will find 60 recipes covering breakfasts, mains, snacks and desserts, all created with fitness-friendly eating in mind.
That means low-calorie breakfasts that do not leave you raiding the cupboard by 10.30 am, hearty mains with a proper protein hit, and desserts that have been given the macro-conscious treatment without losing the will to live.
There are also expert tips on macronutrients, helping readers understand how carbs, fats and proteins work together rather than treating them like three rival gangs fighting for space on a plate.
From Myprotein Kitchen To The Kitchen Counter
The recipes come from the Myprotein Kitchen, which has already built a strong following online thanks to meals and snacks aimed at people who train, track, lift, run, recover or simply want to eat better without sucking all the joy out of dinner.
The appeal is fairly obvious. Protein-led cooking has moved well beyond bodybuilders measuring chicken breast with the emotional range of a tax return. It is now part of everyday health and fitness culture, from post-gym meals to packed lunches, family dinners and smarter snacks.
That is where this Myprotein cookbook should find its audience.
It is not just for the person chasing a new deadlift PB. It is also for the office worker trying to avoid another sad supermarket sandwich, the student wanting affordable meal ideas, the parent squeezing training into the margins of the day, or the kitchen rookie who knows protein matters but has no idea what to do beyond shaking a bottle like a maraca.
Recipes With Macros In Mind
A big part of the appeal is the nutritional breakdown included across the book.
Each recipe is designed to be accessible, with ingredients readers can find at a local supermarket and instructions that do not require specialist kit, chef-level knife skills or a sous-chef called Nigel.
| Section | What Readers Can Expect |
|---|---|
| Breakfasts | Lighter, protein-focused options to start the day properly |
| Mains | Filling meals designed around protein, flavour and convenience |
| Snacks | Muscle-friendly bites for between meals or post-workout |
| Desserts | Sweeter recipes reworked with macros in mind |
| Nutrition Tips | Guidance on balancing carbs, fats and proteins |
That last point matters because plenty of people know they “need more protein” but have little idea how to build a balanced day of eating around it. Protein Plates tries to close that gap with straightforward input from qualified nutritionists and personal trainers.
Myprotein Makes Nutrition More Accessible
Speaking about the launch, Myprotein said: “Our recipes from Myprotein Kitchen have proven hugely popular across our online audience and we are excited to bring these offline into our first recipe book.
“Following our recent rebrand and the launch of our concept store, we are always looking for new and innovative ways to make nutrition accessible, so we are thrilled to be able to bring this to the market just in time for Christmas.”
That accessibility point is the backbone of the book.
Fitness nutrition can still feel unnecessarily complicated. One minute you are looking for a decent high-protein dinner, the next you are knee-deep in conflicting advice about carb timing, fasted cardio and whether oats are suddenly suspicious. Protein Plates appears designed to cut through some of that noise with recipes that explain not only what to cook, but why the meal works.
Why Protein Plates Stands Out
The cookbook market is not exactly short of healthy eating titles. You could stack them high enough to use as a plyo box, though probably not with great structural integrity.
Where the Myprotein cookbook differs is in its specific focus on active lifestyles. It is not simply promising lighter food or vague wellness. It is built around protein, macros and practical meals that support training goals.
The hardback format also gives it a more giftable feel, especially for anyone who already buys Myprotein products or follows the brand’s online recipe content.
Priced at an RRP of £14.99 and available exclusively through the Myprotein website. Protein Plates was launched as a limited-edition release.
Final Word
The Myprotein cookbook is aimed at people who want fitness-friendly food without turning the kitchen into a laboratory.
With 60 high-protein recipes, accessible ingredients, nutritional breakdowns and expert guidance, Protein Plates gives readers a practical way to bring more structure, flavour and protein into their daily routine.
For seasoned gym-goers, it could freshen up the weekly meal plan. For beginners, it offers a less intimidating route into macro-aware cooking. And for anyone whose post-workout nutrition currently involves panic, toast and hope, it may be a very useful addition to the kitchen shelf.
