Fuel your evening right - protein at dinner keeps you satisfied, balanced, and burning fat while you rest.

(And no, protein forward meals don’t have to be bland or dry.)

Switch things up with my go-to bunless smash burger bowl 🙂  It’s juicy, satisfying, and totally blood sugar friendly!

Here’s how to build it:
🍔 For the burger:
 👉 4 oz ground beef (I use 80/20 for flavor + satiety)
 👉 Season generously with kosher salt + black pepper
Divide into 2 (2 oz) balls
 👉 Smash onto a hot skillet or cast iron pan
 👉 Sear 1–2 minutes per side until crispy edges form

🥗 For the bowl base:
 👉 Shredded romaine or butter lettuce
 👉 Sliced tomato
 👉 Thinly sliced red onion
 👉 Dill pickle slices
 👉 Optional: sautéed mushrooms or grilled zucchini

💥 Topping suggestions:
 👉 Mustard + avocado mayo combo
 👉 A slice of clean melting cheese if tolerated
 👉 A fried egg for extra protein
 👉 Sprinkle of sesame seeds or fresh herbs for crunch

🥑 Pro tip: drizzle with olive oil + a splash of vinegar for that burger-salad tang.

This bowl hits all the marks:
 ✅ Protein-packed
 ✅ Blood sugar stable
 ✅ Totally crave-worthy

👇 If you try it out, comment below!
 Tell me what toppings you’re throwing on yours, I’m always looking for new flavor combos for the family!
