Introduction
Let’s face it.
On busy days, cooking a fresh meal from scratch can feel like a challenge.
Between work, studies, family, and everyday responsibilities, we often look for meals that are quick and easy. But convenience foods are not always the most balanced options.
That’s where recipes like these come in.
These High-Protein Vermicelli Spring Rolls bring together everything we want from everyday food flavour, convenience, and nutrition.
Instead of using regular spring roll sheets, we make a homemade version using whole wheat flour and Prolicious UP It. This simple addition helps increase the protein content while keeping the recipe wholesome.
The filling uses Prolicious Millet Vermicelli tossed with colourful vegetables and sauces, creating a satisfying combination of textures and flavours.
It’s the kind of recipe you can enjoy fresh, pack for lunch, or prepare ahead for those days when you need something quick but nourishing.

Step-by-Step Method
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
Take whole wheat flour in a bowl.

Add 1 scoop of Prolicious UP It and a pinch of salt.

Gradually add water and knead into a soft dough.

Cover and rest the dough for a few minutes.
Step 2: Prepare the Filling
Heat oil in a pan.

This recipe provides a better balance.
The combination of:
- Whole wheat flour
- Prolicious UP It

- Vegetables
adds protein, fibre, and volume to the meal.
Protein helps support fullness, while fibre from vegetables and whole grains helps make the meal more satisfying.
