Top Plant Protein Sources + Meal Plan

I may ruffle some feathers by saying this but plant protein is actually superior to animal protein in a few ways.
First, it’s also a fibre source which so many of us are actually deficient in, second, it’s packed with health-promoting plant chemicals including antioxidants and phytonutrients while being lower in saturated fat and third (I could keep going on) – it’s cheaper!

So, whether you are a plant-based eater or simply want to eat some more plants, it’s time to incorporate more of these plant proteins into your daily eating habits.

My top plant proteins are:

• Bean Pasta – 85 g – 17 G protein & 8 g fibre
• Edamame – 1 cup – 19 G protein & 8 g fibre
• Peas – 1 cup – 9 G protein & 7 g fibre
• Tofu – 8 oz – 24 g G protein & 1 g fibre 
• Tempeh – 8 oz – 46 G protein & 8 g fibre
• Lentils – 1 cup – 18 G protein & 1  g fibre
• Black Beans – 1 cup – 14 G protein &  18 g fibre
• Chickpeas – 1 cup – 12 G protein & 11 g fibre
