]]>As a vegetarian, you can use dairy and eggs as a protein instead of meat and fish. Beans are also a really great source of protein and if you combine beans and grains together the amino acids will build a complete protein, like meat and fish. Complete proteins for vegetarians are; quinoa, soybeans, eggs, cow’s milk, cheese, and yogurt. Also, seeds such as chia and hemp are good protein sources.
If you’re also working out at the same intensity as you were as a meat eater you still need to eat something post-workout high in protein. Protein after a workout can help with recovery and repair muscles. You should also eat carbs to replace the glycogen stores you burnt during your workout. A few examples are; smoothie with milk and yogurt and spinach or banana and peanut butter.
There are many protein powders on the market suitable for both vegans and vegetarians. They are usually based on brown rice, hemp, pea, or soy for the vegans and whey protein for vegetarians. All of these contain high amounts of protein and are really good for an after workout meal.
