High protein feeds to help fuel your family

We know that protein plays a vital role in a balanced diet. It fuels our energy, supports muscle strength, and contributes to the health of our bones and organs. Adequate protein intake helps with:

Healthy growth and development
Muscle building and repair
Stronger bones
Weight management

New Zealand beef and lamb is a high-quality source of lean protein, rich in essential nutrients and easily absorbed by the body. It also tastes oh so good, so we’ve gathered our top 10 protein-rich meals all in one place, just for you.

Beefy breakfast burrito

Like a steak with eggs but infinitely better. The breakfast burrito might be called that, but this really is a protein rich meal for any time of day. Don’t skip out on the hot sauce either, just a little is all you need.

Gochujang lamb with kimchi slaw

New Zealand’s finest is covered in Korea’s signature spicy paste for a fast delivering dinner with big flavour. The kimchi spiked slaw packs a nutrient-dense side full of goodness.

Beef and shiitake pho

Vietnamese food is fragrant, healthy and this pho is extra loaded on all fronts. We love it with shiitake mushrooms but if something else is in season, give those a go too!

Lamb rump with red lentil salad

A bag of red lentils is a cheap way to round out your protein intake and they’re fairly simple to cook. We love them here with a perfectly cooked lamb rump for an easy midweek dinner.

Teriyaki beef and edamame bowl

A delicious umami marinade is what transforms this lean beef into a super tasty meal. We love edamame for an additional veggie that’s also full of plant protein for an extra boost.

Easy lamb curry

Grab your slow cooker and put it to good use with this 6-ingredient curry. Make sure you’ve got fresh roti for dragging through the sauce as well as coriander and red onion to serve.

Kiwi lamb burger

Quintessentially Kiwi, this loaded burger is just what the heart craves. Tender lamb, beetroot and all topped with an egg for an easy protein boost. Buy good quality burger buns, they will make all the difference.

Beef bulgogi with rump steak

Korean food is having a moment and this bulgogi is an easy midweek meal that everyone will love. Kimchi on the side is a must, as is lettuce leaves for scooping the piles into.

Beef rendang mince wraps

Let mince transport you to South East Asia with these rendang wraps. If you have them, the fresh herbs bring big flavour to counter the richness of the rendang paste.

Lamb cutlets with quinoa crust

Few people will turn down a humble cutlet and these babies have the most unique way of using quinoa. We love the flavour packed pesto underneath as well – all that’s missing is a big green salad.
