How to make it

  1. Drain the tuna. Drain the can of tuna well and transfer the tuna to a medium bowl or plate.
  2. Add the ingredients. Add the Greek yogurt, light mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, diced avocado, celery, red onion, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle 1 full scoop of FORALL Flavorless Protein directly over the ingredients.
  3. Mash everything together. Using a fork, begin mashing and mixing everything together. As you mash the avocado, tuna, Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, and mustard, the mixture will become creamy and the FORALL will incorporate right into the tuna salad. Continue mixing until the protein powder is fully incorporated and everything is evenly combined.
  4. Adjust the consistency. If you prefer a chunkier tuna salad, stop mixing once everything is incorporated. For a creamier texture, continue mashing the avocado into the tuna mixture until you reach your desired consistency. Taste and adjust the salt and pepper as needed.
  5. Serve. Serve immediately with your favorite crackers and enjoy. You can also serve it with toasted sourdough, in a wrap, over greens, or however you normally enjoy tuna salad.

FORALL Tips & Tricks

Yes, You Can Add FORALL Directly to the Tuna

Unlike some liquid recipes where gradual mixing is helpful, this recipe really is as simple as it looks. You can sprinkle the entire scoop of FORALL directly over the tuna salad ingredients before mashing everything together. The moisture from the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, avocado, and tuna helps incorporate the powder as you mix.

Mash, Don't Just Lightly Stir

A fork works especially well here because you're doing two things at once.

You're breaking apart the tuna and avocado while simultaneously working the FORALL into the creamy ingredients. Continue mashing and folding until you don't see any dry protein powder remaining.

Serving Ideas

This recipe is perfect for a quick grab-and-go lunch or high-protein snack. Try serving it:

  • With your favorite crackers
  • On toasted sourdough
  • Inside a wrap
  • In lettuce cups
  • Over a bed of greens
  • Stuffed into an avocado
  • With sliced cucumber or bell peppers for dipping

You can also prepare the tuna salad ahead of time and keep it refrigerated until you're ready to eat.

Sometimes the recipes people come back to the most aren't the complicated ones.

They're the ones you can make in less than 10 minutes, with ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen, that actually keep you satisfied.

And this High-Protein Tuna Salad has become one of our most-requested recipes for exactly that reason.

It's creamy, crunchy, savory, incredibly easy to throw together, and packs approximately 55 grams of protein into one serving. The best part? There's no complicated technique required to add the protein. No blender. No frother. No separate mixing bowl. You can literally sprinkle one full scoop of FORALL Flavorless Protein directly over the tuna salad ingredients and mash everything together with a fork. That's it.

One scoop of FORALL adds 25 grams of protein to a meal that's already naturally rich in protein, turning a simple can of tuna into an incredibly easy 50+ gram protein lunch or snack.

Serve it with your favorite crackers, pile it onto sourdough, turn it into a wrap, or eat it straight from the bowl.

Why This is a Highly Requested Recipe

There are recipes you make when you have an hour to spend in the kitchen.

And then there are recipes you make when it's lunchtime, you're already hungry, and you need something substantial in the next five minutes.

This is the second kind. Everything goes into one bowl. Mash. Mix. Eat.

And it doesn't feel like you're forcing yourself to eat a stereotypical "high-protein meal."

It's just a really good tuna salad that happens to contain approximately 55 grams of protein.

Over 50 Grams of Protein in One Bowl

Tuna is already a fantastic foundation for a protein-packed meal.

A standard can of tuna provides around 25 grams of protein on its own, depending on the brand and size. Then we add Greek yogurt for creaminess and a little additional protein.

And finally, one scoop of FORALL contributes another 25 grams of protein.

That puts this simple tuna salad at approximately: 55 grams of protein per serving.

All before adding whatever you decide to serve alongside it.

That's a lot of protein for something that takes less than 10 minutes to make.

Can I Meal Prep This Tuna Salad?

Yes.

This is also an easy option for a grab-and-go lunch. Prepare the tuna salad ahead of time, transfer it to an airtight container, and refrigerate until you're ready to eat. If you're serving it with crackers, keep those separate until you're ready to eat so they stay crunchy. Because avocado can naturally darken after it's cut, the color may change slightly as the tuna salad sits. That doesn't necessarily mean anything is wrong with it. For the freshest flavor and texture, we love this one freshly made or prepared shortly before serving.

What Does FORALL Taste Like in Tuna Salad?

The goal is that your tuna salad tastes like tuna salad. That's exactly why a flavorless protein works so well here. The Dijon mustard still comes through. You still get the creaminess from the avocado, Greek yogurt, and mayonnaise. Celery and red onion add freshness and crunch. Salt and pepper bring everything together.

FORALL works in the background, contributing 25 grams of protein without turning the recipe into a flavored "protein food." That distinction matters. You're not trying to make protein powder taste like tuna salad. You're making tuna salad—and adding protein to it.

However you serve it, you'll have an easy lunch or snack that takes less than 10 minutes to make and packs approximately 55 grams of protein. Sometimes the recipes worth repeating really are the simplest ones.
