]]>Green peas are technically a legume, but they still make for a great source of plant-based protein with about eight grams per cup. They also contain 35% of the recommended daily amount of fiber and are rich in vitamins and minerals, particularly vitamin C. Try adding some to your salads and stir-fries for a quick and easy protein boost.
Spinach contains over five grams of protein per cup, along with essential vitamins and minerals like vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, and calcium. We love adding a handful of fresh spinach to smoothies or sautéing it with garlic and olive oil for a healthy side dish.
Artichokes are surprisingly high in protein at almost five grams per cup. They’re also packed with fiber, vitamins C and K, and antioxidants, making them a healthy and delicious addition to any meal. Try mixing artichoke hearts with some spinach, cashew cream, and nutritional yeast for a plant-protein-packed spinach artichoke dip.

]]>With over 20 grams per ½ cup serving, tofu contains more protein than almost any other plant-based food. It’s made from soy and has a very mild taste that takes on the flavor of whatever it’s prepared with, so it’s incredibly versatile. We love it in Asian dishes and as a replacement for scrambled eggs.
There are actually about 400 different varieties of beans in the world, though most grocery stores will only carry about 10-15. All beans contain some protein, though some of the best sources are fava beans, lentils, black beans and chickpeas.
Nutritional yeast is a deactivated yeast grown on molasses. It’s a great source of several vitamins and minerals, and it also contains about 8 grams of protein per 2 tablespoons. It has a cheese-like flavor and can be used as a seasoning on everything from pasta to popcorn to oven-roasted veggies.

]]>Many of the most popular protein bars are made with whey, however, making them unsuitable for vegans or anyone else who can’t tolerate dairy. Fortunately, increased demand for plant-based products over the last few years has led several companies to create snacks using protein from non-animal sources. Here are the ones we always have in our bags:
With 15 grams of protein and 8 grams of fiber per serving, these bars will keep you full and energized without causing a sugar crash. They’re sweetened with stevia, gluten-free, and available in 4 different flavors. We love the Chocolate Biscuit Crunch!
GoMacro’s protein bars have between 10-12 grams of protein per serving depending on the flavor and are one of the best options on the market for anyone with food sensitivities. They’re vegan, soy-free, gluten-free, and FODMAP friendly, but you’d never know from the way they taste. Try the Protein Decadence with dark chocolate and almonds – you won’t regret it.
Aloha is one of our favorite brands for plant-based protein powder, so it makes sense that their line of protein bars would also be one of our go-to’s. They come in tons of delicious flavors and even seasonal varieties like Pumpkin Spice in the fall.

]]>GOL’s vegan protein powder contains 20 grams of protein as well as probiotics to support gut health. It’s certified organic and available in chocolate and vanilla flavors.
We’re big fans of all of this brand’s drinks and snacks, but their protein powder is definitely one of our favorites. It’s naturally sweetened with coconut sugar and monk fruit and even contains fiber to help keep you full.
KOS’s vegan protein powder is a great choice for anyone in search of a soy-free option. It’s available in super fun flavors like blueberry muffin, chocolate chip mint, and salted caramel coffee.
