]]> Protein is a crucial nutrient for our bodies to build and repair tissues, maintain muscle mass, and keep us feeling full. While animal products are often considered the go-to source of protein, many vegetables can also provide a substantial amount of this essential nutrient. In fact, a plant-based diet can easily replace meat, eggs, and dairy to help us meet our daily protein requirements. These are some of the highest protein vegetables and here’s how to incorporate them into your diet.

Green Peas

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

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

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.

]]> Are you looking to increase your protein intake but tired of the same old protein shakes? Whether you’re put off by the taste or simply in the mood to try something new, there are plenty of ways to incorporate protein powder into your diet that don’t require resorting to the same gritty, chalky shakes day after day. Protein powder can be added to everything from pancakes to cookies to boost nutritional value and keep you feeling full throughout the day. If you’re ready to take your protein game to the next level, read on for some delicious and easy recipes that will help you reach your fitness goals.

Protein Cookies

These protein cookies by The Big Man’s World contain just four ingredients and can be ready to eat in less than 20 minutes. Each cookie contains a whopping 21 grams of protein, and he even includes options for different flavors and dietary restrictions.

Easy Protein Pancakes

Classic banana pancakes get a healthy makeover in this protein-packed recipe by Rich And Delish. The batter is easy to whip up in a blender and contains almost 100 grams of protein total thanks to a combination of protein powder, Greek yogurt, and eggs.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Balls

For a high-protein snack that can be whipped up on the go, these Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls by Eating Bird Food are sure to hit the spot. They’re made with just five ingredients and don’t require any baking. Just measure, mix, roll, and enjoy!

]]> If you’ve followed a vegan diet for an extended period of time, you’ve more than likely been asked where you get your protein. In general, this question is well-meaning and comes from a place of curiosity, but it does highlight some major misconceptions surrounding nutrition and plant-based diets. Many of us actually eat more protein than we really need, and there are plenty of plant foods that contain enough protein to help us meet the recommended daily intake. Here are a few we especially love.

Tofu

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. 

Beans

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

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.

]]> Whether you’re in search of some easy-to-grab options to munch on post-workout or need snacks to help keep you full between meals, protein bars can be a great option. They’re small, lightweight, and relatively mess-free, making them an easy option to throw into any gym bag or purse.

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:

Protein Works Ridiculous Protein Bars

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 Protein Bars

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 Protein Bars

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.

]]> While it’s quite easy for the average person to get enough protein in their diet without the need to count macronutrients, you may benefit from drinking protein shakes if you’re someone who works out a lot. Getting enough protein in a plant-based diet doesn’t have to be difficult either, though it can be more tricky when it comes to protein powders. Many vegan powders have chalky consistency or are made with artificial flavors that leave a bad aftertaste, but there are few that we’ve found are really delicious. Here are our faves:

Garden of Life Raw Organic Meal

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.

Aloha Organic Protein Powder

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 Organic Plant Protein

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.
