πͺ Easily Add More Plant Protein to Your Recipes
Hello Reader,
When it comes to preparing vegan meals, it's important not to forget your protein! Lots of vegetables have some protein, but you really need to add some additional protein sources to your meals.
My Favorite Vegan Protein Sources:
- Beans (chickpeas, black beans, pinto, kidney)
- Lentils
- Peas
- Edamame
- Tofu
- Tempeh
- Quinoa
- Hemp Seeds
- Nuts (walnuts, almonds, cashews)
- Seeds (flax, hemp, sunflower, pumpkin, chia)
- Non-Dairy Milk (Soy, Pea)
- Pea Protein Powder
Here are some protein rich vegan recipes that are super easy to make!
