🌿 Why Focus on Plant-Based Proteins?

Eating more plants doesn’t mean skimping on protein. In fact, plant-based protein sources are not only rich in this key macronutrient, but also packed with fiber, healthy fats, antioxidants, and micronutrients your body needs to thrive.

If you’re looking to:
✅ Build or maintain muscle
✅ Support healthy hormones
✅ Boost energy & stay full longer
✅ Eat more sustainably
… these plant-based proteins deliver.

Here are my favorite options — and easy ways to enjoy them every day.

1. Beans & Lentils

✅ Cooked or sprouted, beans & lentils are staples for a reason — full of protein, fiber, and minerals.
✅ Sprouting boosts their digestibility and nutrient absorption.
✅ Try them in: soups, stews, salads, veggie burgers, or even dips.

2. Peas

✅ Simple, affordable, and surprisingly high in plant protein.
✅ Use frozen peas in stir-fries, soups, pasta, or mashed on toast.
✅ Bonus: Pea protein is also the base of many vegan protein powders.

3. Plant-Based Protein Powder

✅ Perfect for busy days when you need an easy, concentrated boost.
✅ Look for blends made with peas, hemp, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, or sacha inchi.
✅ Add to: smoothies, overnight oats, pancakes, or even baked goods.

4. Spirulina & Chlorella

✅ These nutrient-dense algaes are ~60–80% protein by weight.
✅ Also packed with B vitamins, iron, and antioxidants.
✅ Use in: smoothies, energy balls, or simply stirred into water for a quick greens boost.

5. Tempeh & Tofu

✅ Made from soybeans, both provide all 9 essential amino acids (a “complete” protein).
✅ Tempeh is fermented, adding gut-friendly benefits.
✅ Tofu is incredibly versatile — grill it, scramble it, bake it, or toss into stir-fries.

6. Nuts, Seeds & Butters

✅ Almond butter, tahini, chia, flax, and hemp all deliver healthy fats and protein.
✅ Add to smoothies, toast, grain bowls, or drizzle over roasted veggies.
✅ Great for sustained energy and hormone balance.

7. Pumfu (Pumpkin Seed Protein)

✅ A soy-free, high-protein alternative to tofu.
✅ Made from pumpkin seeds — firm, sliceable, and versatile.
✅ Use in savory dishes, salads, or sandwiches.

🌱 Why Plants? The Bigger Picture

Plant-based proteins don’t just help you hit your daily intake — they nourish your body with fiber for digestion, phytonutrients for cellular health, and sustainable energy without the heaviness of animal products.

You’re not just eating protein — you’re fueling your whole body.
