High Protein Vegan Foods
Every day someone asks me how I get my protein.
Sigh. So instead of launching into an agitated diatribe, from now on I’m just going to direct them to this blog post. Totally saves my breath. So here they are: 10 high protein vegan foods.
Peas
One cup, boiled = 9 grams protein
Hemp
30 grams powder = 11 grams protein
Non-Dairy Milk
1 cup of soy or almond milk = 7-9 grams of protein
Nut Butter
2 tablespoons of peanut butter or almond butter = 8 grams of protein
Aaaaaaand drumroll, please. My favorite high protein vegan food:
Quinoa
1 cup = 9 grams of protein
Tofu
4 ounces = 9 grams of protein
Lentils
1 cup = 18 grams protein!
Beans
1 cup = 13-15 grams protein
Tempeh
1 cup = 30 grams protein. Yep. You read that right.
And one of the easiest high protein vegan foods to incorporate into your diet? Bread, baby.
Sprouted-Grain Bread
2 slices = 10 grams protein
