16 Plant-Based Protein Sources

Protein is often raised as a concern for people considering adopting a plant-based diet, and considering the fact that we've all been taught to associate protein primarily with red meat, this is not surprising.

It is estimated that most adults require 56 grams of protein per day, and you're probably hitting that number if you're not in a calorie deficit. If you're trying to lose weight and so are cutting calories then you may need to track your protein a little more closely, but 56 grams is pretty easy to hit without having to really think about it.

It gets a bit more difficult if you're very physically active, particularly if you're engaged in regular endurance training or are trying to build muscle. There is a great deal of disagreement about precisely how much protein is ideal if you're training intensely, but it is very achievable to hit even the upper end of protein requirement estimates using only plant-based foods. Listed below are particularly good options.

1) Lentils - Lentils are a cheap nutritional powerhouse, and provides about 17 grams of protein per cup. They're also very flexible, you can have them as your main protein source of a meal, use them to substitute mince in a pasta dish, make burgers out of them, or put them in a stir fry or with rice and veg with some seasonings. They are cheap and convenient if you buy them canned, since they're ready to eat, though I would recommend at least warming them up.

2) Chickpeas - Chickpeas are a popular vegan staple, and it's not hard to see why. At approximately 14.5 grams of protein per cup, they're nutrient dense and very flexible. Use them to make hummus or falafel, as the main protein source of a curry, on their own with rice or worked into a salad. You can also just air fry/grill them with some oil and spices for a convenient, crunchy snack.

3) Oats - A cup of dry oats is around 11 grams of protein by itself. Making it with a cup of oat milk brings that up to 14 grams, throw in a tablespoon of peanut butter and you're up to about 17.5 grams at breakfast, and all those ingredients are pretty cheap and very filling. You could add something like nuts or chia seeds as a topping to stretch that to well over 20 grams.

4) Nuts - Peanuts are 9.5 grams per 1/4 cup, almonds are 7g, pistachios 6g, cashews 5g, hazelnuts 5g, brazil nuts 4.75g, walnuts 4.5g and pine nuts are 4.5g. You can buy 1kg bags of mixed nuts for a little bit cheaper and keep them in a jar for a healthy snack. I find it better to buy a bag that doesn't have peanuts in then add the peanuts later, as mixes that include peanuts tend to be less for your money. Peanut butter is also a cost effective way to add protein to many snacks and meals.

5) Beans - Depending on the type, beans are anything from around 10-15 grams of protein per cup. Some are better than others, like kidney beans, but even your standard baked beans are high protein and good for you. Turn them into a chilli, have them on toast, on a jacket potato, turn them into a bean burger or make them the protein base of a salad or soup. Kidney , soy and edamame beans are particularly good options.

6) Seitan - When cooked, seitan closely resembles to look and feel of red meat. It is made of wheat gluten and has 25 grams of protein per 100 gram serving. It is not very widely available in supermarkets, but try your local Asian market, where it will usually be cheaper as well. It's a bit of a hassle, but you can also make your own at home, which is extremely cheap as it's just wheat gluten, yeast, plant milk, miso and spices.

7) Tofu/Tempeh - A staple in Asian cooking, don't be afraid to try this one. Think of it as doing all the same things chicken does in terms of recipes, it soaks up the flavour around it. It needs to be pressed before use, or you can avoid that by just draining the liquid and freezing it, then thawing over night when you want to use it. 100 grams of tofu (less than half a small block) contains 8 grams of protein. Some tofu, like Naked TooFoo, is pre-pressed for you.

8) Faux Meats - Faux meats are an easy way to add a protein base to your meal, and has the advantage of serving the same function on a plate as the foods you were used to before you went vegan. A Beyond burger, for example, has 19g of protien per patty, though you can get much cheaper options that have a similar nutritional profile. Pair that with a wholemeal bun and something like brown rice/quinoa and vegetables and you can create a very high protein meal.

9) Grains - All grains are good for protein, these include quinoa, spelt, brown/wild rice, teff, amaranth and sorghum. They can range anywhere between 5 and 8 grams per 100 grams, and you'll usually be serving them with some sort of protein source. They're also an excellent source of fibre and carbohydrates, which are also important for training and general health. Quinoa in particular provides all 22 essential amino acids.

10) Peas - Green peas are not mentioned much when it comes to high protein options, but a cup of cooked peas is a respectable 9 grams of protein, and it's worth mentioning here because they tend to be used more as a side than main, so can be paired with other high protein options. They're also very cheap, freeze well and are easy to prepare.

11) Seeds - Just a tablespoon of chia seeds is nearly 3 grams of protein, and the seeds are so small and tasteless that you don't actually notice them in anything you put them in, making them an easy way to add protein to just about any meal. They're pretty cheap to buy in large quantities, particularly good to replace eggs in baking, to add to bread flour, salads and oatmeal. Other high protein seeds include pumpkin, sunflower, linseed, hempseeds and buckwheat.

12) Bread - Bread may not immediately come to mind when you're thinking about protein, but wholegrain/rye/spelt breads can be very high in protein, anywhere from 3 all the way up to around 10 grams per slice, particularly for seeded loaves. If you really want to turn bread into a high protein food, invest in a bread maker or bake it yourself, that way you can add nuts, seeds and oats yourself to up the nutritional value. That's just the bread too, a hummus and falafel sandwich with a high protein bread can be very nutrionally dense.

13) Fruit and veg - Worth mentioning here, as they're something you'll need to consume to maintain a healthy diet anyway, and some options have moderate protein. The higher protein options include broccoli, spinach, asparagus, artichokes, potatoes, sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts, which all contain 4–5 grams of protein per cooked cup. Likewise, blueberries, guava, bananas and nectarines contain about 2-4 grams of protein per cup, as well as many other vitamins important for training.

14) Nutritional Yeast - No vegan list is complete without mentioning it, it's a vegan staple for its nutty, cheesy flavour, as well as being an easy source of vitamin B12. It's a complete protein that has 8 grams of protein per 16 grams serving, making it an easy way to add more protein to things like pizza, pasta dishes or a jacket potato. Use it to make cheesy sauces, or just sprinkle it on anything you'd have previousy added parmesan cheese to.

15) Protein Bars - They tend to be  on the expensive side, but there are a few plant-based options. I'd recommend Misfit bars if you can get them online, they're low sugar, 15g of protein per bar, and you can buy them in variety packs of 40 which works out cheaper. Trek also have protein flapjack bars, less protein (8-9g) but are much cheaper in packs of 3 and frequently available at a discount (as little at 85p for three in Heron here in the UK).

Most brands won’t be suitable as a daily option for many people given the price, but great for when you're need a protein boost on the go. You can also just make your own protein bars using nothing but oats, cinnamon, baking soda, a little maple/golden syrup and a scoop of plant-based protein powder.

16) Protein/Meal Powders- Even the cheaper powders are around 18g of protein per scoop, so a shake is an easy way to add more protein to your diet, or you can stir it into oatmeal to get most of your daily requirements over breakfast. Some meal replacement shakes, like Huel Black, are around 40 grams of protein per serving (2 scoops) even when made with just water, providing a cheap and easy way to have a high protein and nutritious meal without any prep or fuss. Add some peanut butter and plant milk to make them tastier and even higher in protein. (I don't accept sponsorship or commissions from any brand and I don't have any affiliate links. Any product recommendations are based solely on my own experience.)

Hi, Sam! I had a food question for you. My partner has POTS and occasionally needs to eat something salty to feel better; this tends to happen most at night after the shops have closed, so running out for chips isn't an opthere.

Do you have any ideas as to easy snacks I can make in a relatively short amount of time out of my pantry with a decent amount of salt in them? Possibly recipes? Especially crunchy things. I've made buttered toast with salt sprinkled on top for him before, and making some kind of cracker might be doable... Thanks!

Ooh, hm, good question. I actually don't use much salt in my cooking (supertaster -- don't need much).

A number of cheeses are pretty salt-heavy; cheddar and camembert in particular, and camembert goes very well with crackers or on bread, even on toast. After my last surgery I often craved salt once I was back on solid foods and a go-to was a chunk of naan bread or a split pita, spread with pesto, topped with cambozola (a camembert-gorgonzola blend), and baked in the toaster oven. If you toast the bread first and then top it, it should stay pretty crispy.

Pesto is a good thing to have on hand because it's pretty salty (and you can add more) and it freezes well, so you can freeze it in small containers and take it out to thaw as needed, so you always have some in the fridge. If allergies are a concern it's relatively easy to make with substitutions (I make mine with almond or cashew butter instead of pine nuts) although you have to like basil. Goes on bread, toast, most veggies, can be used as a dip, etc.

Crackers sprinkled with salt are a good one; most crackers are just flour, liquid, sometimes a mild leavening agent, and if you have a pasta roller it's easy to make the dough thin enough to work like a regular cracker.

Most nut butters also have added salt and as with pesto you can add more (if he can tolerate nuts). If you have a toaster oven or an air fryer, freezer chips/fries bake pretty well and pretty fast in those, and re-salting them after they've heated actually crisps them up a bit too. Keeping salted nuts around is good. A quick google tells me that POTS patients should limit carbs, which is a lot of what I've mentioned here, so if he tolerates jerky, that's super salty and mostly protein, and there are a variety of places these days that do pretty high-quality jerky that doesn't have a lot of nonsense added.

If all else fails, definitely clear this with your doctor, but a glass of water with a shot of vinegar, a spoonful of salt, and a spoonful of sugar is an old recipe for essentially gatorade; it doesn't taste salty (I think it tastes like lemon water) but it gets salt into you and replenishes electrolytes. I'm not sure if it's recommended for POTS patients, though.

Readers, any suggestions? Remember to comment or reblog, as I don't repost asks sent in response to other asks.

High Cal breakfast Idea: 360 Calories

A high cal breakfast helps me keep full throughout the day to stop myself eating and snacking until dinner time.

Scrambled Egg Wrap

• Eggs are a great way of getting your protein in for not many calories, which is exactly what we need most of.

• I use two whole eggs to get the flavour and colour of regular scrambled eggs, then add one egg white to add more volume and make them more fluffy, this tricks my mind into feeling more full.

• I use bell peppers or spinach in my eggs to get vegetables in my diet as I don’t really much of them, this is an easy way for me to hide them in my meal.

• The wrap keeps me full until dinner time where I will have a very light meal with no carbs, as I’ve already had some in the morning. It also makes the meal feel more satisfying. You can get smaller wraps or keto wraps if you want lower calories.

Hope you enjoyed lmk if you want any more recipes, high or low.

Kisses,

Jes.

Special Müller Mail: RDY edition

Hello everyone

and welcome to the Müller Mail Special.

FC Bayern's season is now officially over. Now the home European Championship is just around the corner and I can hardly wait to experience a great football festival in our country - as a player on the pitch, but also as a football fan.

We will be talking in detail about this major event in the coming weeks. In this special edition of Müller Mail, I would like to tell you about a project that I have put my heart and soul into.

After months of development work, RDY Protein Meal, the new protein drink meal that I launched together with ESN, is finally on the market. I was hooked from the very first idea, back in early 2023.

But first things first.

What is RDY?

We've all been there - a hectic everyday life, little time for a balanced meal, we're on the go and still want to eat smart.

This is exactly where the RDY drinkable meal comes into play for me.

RDY stands for "ready" and is a protein drinkable meal. Together with the experts at ESN, we have worked on a recipe that delivers the best possible performance and, in my opinion, is now the tastiest drinkable meal on the market.

RDY now contains 38g of high-quality protein, fiber, important vitamins and minerals. The energy/carbohydrates come from valuable MCT oil, among other things. And what makes me particularly happy is that all four flavors taste really nice.

Why RDY?

My basic idea is to pass on my experience and knowledge of nutrition and performance.

And now I even have the opportunity to launch products on the market with my partner ESN that help me personally to nourish my body better.

ESN is one of the leading German supplement manufacturers and the collaboration has been extremely positive so far.

Our first product is RDY Protein Meal.

During the development of the RDY protein drinkable meal, I was also in the laboratory several times to fine-tune the recipe and test the taste.

Protein was an important factor here.

Science currently agrees that a sufficient protein intake is not only filling, but also essential for a healthy and efficient body. As an athlete, I try to consume around 150g of protein (1.5-2g per kilo of body weight) a day. Of course, this may vary for you, so it's best to find out.

150 grams of protein a day is not so easy to achieve, even with three freshly prepared and balanced meals. An RDY Protein Meal often comes at just the right time.

One thing is important to me: drinking meals should not replace a balanced and freshly prepared meal. Rather, they are a much better alternative to snacks with empty calories such as chocolate bars, jelly babies, potato chips and the like. To be honest, we often snack our way through the day.

This is where RDY comes in and offers an excellent solution when you need something quick and easy, but still want to provide your body with high-quality nutrients. And of course it's really tasty too 😋

My RDY favorite.

I love all the varieties, but if I had to choose a favorite, it would currently be the Milk Chocolate. The creamy chocolate flavor immediately reminds me of the delicious cocoa of my childhood.

A little Müller tip: In recent weeks, I've been drinking RDY Protein Meal in the evening with a handful of nuts and a few berries. This gives me something tasty to drink and something to bite into.

During the day, the banana flavor has currently taken the lead.

So I'm all the more excited to find out which variety you love.

Exclusively at REWE & online.

Now it's your turn.

The RDY Protein Drinking Meals are available exclusively in your REWE store. I'd be delighted if you'd pick up a drink and give it a try. For those who prefer to order online, you can do so directly from ESN using this link: To the ESN website

Your opinion on RDY counts.

Now I'm looking forward to hearing what you have to say. The initial feedback has been great and the drink is already sold out in some REWE stores. But whether it's positive or constructive - I really want to hear your honest opinion. Let me know how you like my protein drink and whether it helps you in your everyday life.

You can also send me photos or videos of you enjoying your new favorite drink. Or simply link to your Instagram or TikTok post about RDY Protein Meal.

With your permission (please be sure to add a comment) I will share some of them on my Instagram channel.

I will be giving away 3 RDY surprise packages from me among all entries.

Thank you so much for your continued support. Without you, my fans, it wouldn't be half as nice. You only win together. And that's exactly what we'll be doing at the upcoming European Championships.

Here's to an unforgettable football festival, keep your chin up and stay healthy,

Your Thomas

The past couple of days I have been so tired and busy, but I've been pushing through! Yoga this morning was an absolute must and it felt so damn good. I love the yoga class I go to because it's mostly older people in there and the vibes are immaculate. There was a woman that was behind me who had a hummingbird tattoo on one shoulder and a sunflower tattoo on the other shoulder. My grandma sends me hummingbirds for sure, and I've kinda been thinking my friend Paige who passed away in July might be sending me sunflowers. Earlier this week in yoga, the yoga teacher had us do hummingbird asanas which I hadn't heard of before. So... I guess my guardian angels are with me in yoga lately.

Those Korean bowls that I made this week will 100% become a new recipe staple for me. So easy, delicious and spicy! I'll drop the recipe for yall if you are interested. Tomorrow is the day I gather recipes for the week, so I'm excited to hopefully try more healthy things.

Week Recap

Overall, my energy levels in the mornings have been much better, and despite the PMS mood swings, I feel much happier and I can't express how good it feels to be in a routine where I'm holding myself accountable and have an organized schedule so its easier to be consistent. I hope you all are enjoying your 75 hard journey!

Happy Birthday Aly!!

20 ways to increase your protein intake at every meal

You don't have to be a professional athlete to get more protein in your diet. No matter your activity level, protein serves all kinds of important purposes in your body, from repairing damaged tissue to making important hormones and enzymes. Research also shows that protein is the most satiating nutrient, so eating more of it is associated with better weight management. Also, the older we get, the higher our daily protein needs. In short, we can all benefit from getting enough coffee.

Do you feel lacking in the protein department and want to increase your intake? There are plenty of easy ways to sneak macros into meals and snacks—even if you don't want to add protein powder to everything you eat. Here are 20 delicious ideas to try during the day.

Ways to increase protein intake at breakfast

Add protein-rich foods to your breakfast recipes. With the right ingredients, even the most carb-heavy breakfast can get a protein boost. Consider how you can incorporate protein-rich foods into your breakfast routine. Add peanut butter to oatmeal, make a breakfast burrito with black beans or eggs, or blend silken tofu into a smoothie.

Add a protein supplement or powder to breakfast

Ideal for adding a lot of protein powder to breakfast. Sprinkle a spoonful into muffin batter, oatmeal, or smoothies.

Choose a protein-rich breakfast when you eat out

On a busy morning, sometimes running through the driveway is unavoidable. When eating out for your first meal of the day, try to focus your menu on protein-rich options like egg sandwiches or bean wraps. If possible, be sure to check the rest of the product's nutritional information. Often fast food that is high in protein is also high in saturated fat and sodium.

Add collagen to hot drinks

Collagen powder not only dissolves easily in hot beverages like coffee or tea, but it packs 15-20 grams of protein per serving, depending on serving size. Add a scoop to your morning smoothie for a protein boost without breaking the bank.

Ways to increase protein intake at lunch

Eat protein first

At lunch, you may be tempted to dig into a bag of chips or crackers before starting your protein choices. But it is best to use the highest amount of protein in the meal first. That way, you're more likely to fill up on these satisfying macros than on low-quality carbs.

Make the most of leftovers

Since dinner is the highest protein meal of the day, why not extend its effects into tomorrow's lunch? Make a little extra dinner so you can reap the protein-rich benefits the next day.

Picture a protein-rich plate

In the USDA's Dietary Guidelines MyPlate (a handy visual for what a healthy, wholesome meal looks like), protein covers almost a quarter of the plate. Grain, which also contains protein, is only about a quarter. Keep this picture in mind when preparing lunch. This will help you ensure that your lunch provides enough protein.

Ways to increase protein intake at dinner

Plan meals around protein

In addition to being a great way to save time and money, meal planning allows you to get serious about adding more protein to your dinner. When you sit down to plan your week, start by deciding which protein will anchor each dinner.

Choose protein-rich sides

Main dishes usually provide the most protein on your plate—but that doesn't mean sides can't add to your mealtime, too. Many side dishes offer a lot of protein. For example, refried beans can add this macro to a Mexican dinner, quinoa is a protein-rich side for meat, and a dollop of Greek yogurt adds protein to creamy sauces.

Choose the right meat

Thinner cuts of meat generally offer more protein than thicker cuts of meat. Round-eye, top sirloin, and sirloin tip steak are leaner, higher-protein cuts of beef, while skinless chicken or turkey are leaner, higher-protein poultry choices.

Ways to increase protein intake before snacking

Make your own protein snacks

Making your own high-protein snacks at home gives you complete control over your favorite ingredients and flavors. To save time, try making large batches of snacks that you can freeze, like DIY protein balls or bars. Then, during the week, take them out when there is an afternoon hunger strike.

You can do the same with shelf-stable snacks. Make a trail mix with nuts and seeds or roast some chickpeas with your favorite spices. Then divide them into ziplock bags for easy snacking.

Choose lightly processed store-bought snacks

Store-bought protein snacks may offer up to 20 grams per serving, but beware: some are processed. For your health, try to buy protein-rich snacks that are less processed. Look for bars, balls, jerky, or nuts with short ingredient lists and few additives.

Pair carbohydrate snacks with protein

Think fast: What proteins can you pair with your typical carb-based breakfast? If your usual afternoon snack is a handful of pretzels, try dipping them in peanut butter. Or if you enjoy berries mid-day, consider mixing them into yogurt.

Fire up your smoothies

For a protein-rich snack, there's no more versatile option than a smoothie. Starting with a base of Greek yogurt or silken tofu (along with some fruit for color and flavor), the sky's the limit for other high-protein additions. Add peanut butter, oats, protein powder or soy milk to the mix and mix!
