Where To Find The Best Vegetarian Sources Of Protein

 

We have a variety of meatless protein sources that are both healthy and tasty.

Eggs

The medium egg contains 6g of proteins, omega 3, selenium and other nutrients. Add some egg whites to an omelette and you can boost the protein even more. Egg whites contain 11g of protein per 100g.

Cheese

The dairy product cheese comes in a variety of textures and flavors. It is a good source of calcium and Vitamin B12. Some cheeses are better than others. Cottage cheese and Feta cheese are both low-carb sources of protein that are lower in saturated fats than other processed cheeses. Feta contains 14g of proteins per 100g.

Greek Yoghurt

Greek yoghurt has up to two times as much protein than regular yoghurt, with 10-20g per 100g. Find a yoghurt that doesn’t have any added flavors or preservatives. Instead, flavor the yoghurt with fresh fruit and CHOCOTRIENTS.

Almonds

Almonds have 22g of protein in 100g, and they also contain omega-6 fatty acids and vitamin E. This is why most nuts are a high-protein snack that makes you feel full.

You can replace animal-based proteins with these foods.

Keep an open mind when searching for protein. The wide variety of nutrients will benefit your health as well as many bodily functions.

Legumes

All of these legumes, including lentils, black beans, chickpeas, and soya bean, are vegan-friendly and a great way to increase your intake of protein. They are also a good source for fibre, which helps with digestion and keeps you feeling fuller longer. The soya bean in particular has 17g of protein for every 100g (cooked).

Quinoa

Quinoa contains 14g of complete protein per 100g. It also contains potassium, magnesium and iron. These are important for recovery and training.

Spirulina can be added to shakes and smoothies to boost the amino acids and protein content.

Spirulina is rich in 22 amino acids as well as calcium, iron, beta-carotene and beta-carotene.

Chia Seeds

Chia seeds contain all the essential amino acids, and are high in fibre. Although you will need to consume a large amount of chia to receive a significant protein boost, chia seeds are a wonderful addition to any diet, especially for those who like to exercise. They also contain calcium, magnesium, and B vitamins.

Sprinkle sunflower seeds over salads or blend them into smoothies to boost your protein intake. They are rich in omega 3 fatty acid, which is good for your heart. Toasting pumpkin seeds can add vitamin E to the diet.
