Frequently Asked Questions
What can I eat instead of meat for protein?
Protein is an integral part of a healthy diet. Both animal- and vegetable-based sources can provide protein. The most common plant-based sources of protein include legumes and nuts, seeds, grains, tofu and tempeh, beans and lentils, seitan, wheat gluten, and hemp seeds. A high level of antioxidants can be found in many vegetables and fruits which can offer anti-inflammatory benefits. Some dairy alternatives, such as almond and oatmilk, can be fortified with protein, which makes them a great plant-based substitute to cow's. Alternatives like pumpkin seeds, nutritional yeast, and other plant-based milks can provide cheesy flavors to dishes while also offering more micronutrients. You can also add extra nutrition to smoothies or shakes by using vegan protein powders.
Are plant-based meals more expensive than other types of diets?
Plant-based diets are not always more expensive than other types of diets. A balanced plant-based diet is possible without spending a lot, depending on how many foods you consume. Grain, beans and eggs, as well as nuts and vegetables such potatoes, can be affordable and provide a good source of protein for a low cost.

How to prepare meals for a plant-based diet

For better nutrition, try using different colors each week - such as spinach, purple carrots, and brown rice for complex carbs. A balance of fiber, protein and some fats should be the aim with each meal, depending on the individual's needs.
For meal prep efficiency optimization, you can use a multi-cooker or slow-cooker to cook multiple ingredients at once. Pre-cut vegetables are also useful.
Preparing meals for a plant-based diet is easy with a few simple steps. Make a grocery shopping list with the recipes that you are going to be making.
