One of my favorite pastimes is recreating classic comfort food into high-protein, blood sugar-friendly dishes. This time around, it’s alfredo sauce!
You can make this recipe as easy or elegant as you like. For example, add rotisserie chicken and frozen broccoli for a quick low-carb dinner or sauté your own chicken or shrimp. Add high-protein or chickpea pasta and extra vegetables.
You can easily customize this recipe however you like! Mix-and-match your own hearty, high-protein alfredo recipe and try one or more of the following:
- chicken
- shrimp
- protein or chickpea pasta like Banza
- broccoli
- spinach
- asparagus
- mushrooms
- green peas
A creamy alfredo sauce is the perfect bridge for marrying your favorite proteins and greens. Give it a try, take a photo, and tag me on Instagram if you try it!
Bon appétit! 👩🍳
