How To
How do I make sure I get enough protein from a plant based diet?
You can get enough protein through a plant-based diet by using the right combination. Foods such as legumes, nuts, seeds, tofu, tempeh, and quinoa are excellent plant-based protein sources. This will help you meet your daily needs. You can optimize your nutrient intake by eating superfoods like spinach, green tea, and chia seed.
Additionally to eating plant-based meals throughout the day it is important to add protein to a vegan diet. You can find products like plant protein powders or nut butters as well as collagen peptides (derived primarily from plants). These products can be blended into smoothies and other recipes. If you don't feel you are getting enough protein from your food, you can look into high-quality supplements. These include pills, capsules or tablets that provide the necessary amount of protein.
People who are vegan can make conscious efforts to incorporate plant-based protein into their meals in a variety of ways. This will help them quickly reach their daily recommended nutrients. Planning is key!
