“Where do vegans and vegetarians get protein?” This is a common question I still get asked. Well it’s actually not that hard to achieve your protein needs on a plant based diet. Like any healthy style of eating, or achieve any goal really, a little planning goes a long way. Start by calculating your protein needs, based on your weight and health goals. Then plan out a days eating to see how that amount of protein looks distributed throughout the day. Cronometer is a great free app. that helps with this. Opt for the higher protein sources such as tofu, tempeh, seitan, and TVP as your main protein sources then build your meal around those with healthy whole grains, also rich in protein such as teff, and lots of colourful vegetables, including dark green leafy vegetables. Enjoy making flavourful, healthy. plant rich meals. Your browser does not support viewing this document. Click here to download the document.
