Light, zesty, and packed with protein—these tuna burgers are the ultimate, easy, high protein lunch or dinner! I use simple canned tuna, so this recipe comes together fast for a healthy, low-calorie meal that you will love! These patties taste just as good the next day too, so they are great for meal prep for a busy week!

If you haven't tried Spike seasoning, I highly recommend it! I've been using it for years. It's so good in these tuna patties, and it's also amazing on avocado, cottage cheese, and roasted vegetables! You should be able to find it in your grocery store, or you can head on over to my Amazon storefront, look under Ingredients, and you'll find it there!

I make delicious and satisfying high protein, high fiber, low calorie meals!

When I hit my 50s and went into menopause, it felt like my body had been taken over by an alien! Despite cooking at home and eating whole, clean foods, I started gaining weight, felt exhausted all the time, and—let’s be honest—I was mad at everyone!

I found myself visiting doctors often, desperate to feel healthy again.

Everything changed when I discovered the power of prioritizing protein at every meal and lifting heavy weights to build muscle! I finally feel like myself again!

I make delicious and satisfying high protein, high fiber, low calorie meals that work if you are in a calorie deficit, looking for protein, trying to build and retain muscle or just want some inspiration in the kitchen for what to cook and eat!

I can’t wait for you to join me in my kitchen!
