7. WHOLE GRAINS<br />

Whole grains are also loaded with<br />

proteins <strong>and</strong> are great sources<br />

of fibre, vitamins <strong>and</strong> essential<br />

minerals. Some sources include wild<br />

rice <strong>and</strong> oats. They can boost your<br />

body’s daily grain <strong>and</strong> fibre intake<br />

<strong>and</strong> can be eaten for breakfast,<br />

lunch or dinner.<br />

8. NUTRITIONAL YEAST<br />

Nooch is a nutritional yeast that<br />

is yellow in colour <strong>and</strong> possesses<br />

a cheesy taste. Two tablespoons<br />

contain as much as four grams of<br />

protein. If you’re a vegan, you might<br />

want to supplement with nutritional<br />

yeasts for this vitamin, which is<br />

typically found only in animalbased<br />

protein sources. You can add<br />

it in dressings or sauces, toss it in<br />

popcorn or sprinkle on pasta.<br />

9. SEITAN<br />

Seitan is a vegan meat alternative<br />

made entirely out of hydrated<br />

gluten, the main protein found in<br />

wheat. It is also referred to as wheat<br />

gluten, wheat protein or just gluten.<br />

Seitan contains an impressive 75<br />

grams of protein per 100 grams,<br />

which accounts for 150% of the<br />

recommended daily intake. For<br />

many vegans, it is a staple in their<br />

plant-based diets. It is described as<br />

having a taste profile resembling<br />

bl<strong>and</strong> chicken or portobello<br />

mushroom.<br />

10. CHIA SEEDS<br />

Did you know that just one<br />

tablespoon of chia seeds could<br />

provide you with two grams of<br />

protein? You can consume it as<br />

an added ingredient in cereals,<br />

soups <strong>and</strong> salads. It is also a great<br />

addition to shakes <strong>and</strong> desserts. If<br />

you’re a vegetarian looking for an<br />

egg replacement, you can use chia<br />

seeds as they are hydrophilic: they<br />

will exp<strong>and</strong> when soaked in water<br />

for 20 minutes.<br />

11. GREEN VEGETABLES<br />

Balance out your plate with green<br />

vegetables, like Brussel sprouts,<br />

green peas <strong>and</strong> spinach. They are<br />

not just excellent sources of protein<br />

but also of vitamins, minerals <strong>and</strong><br />

fibre. Plus, they are low in calories<br />

too. Just half a cup of spinach<br />

contains four grams of protein.<br />

Brussel sprouts, on the other h<strong>and</strong>,<br />

contain three grams of protein per<br />

one-half cup serving.<br />

12. POTATOES<br />

Potatoes serve their purpose not<br />

just for french fries but also for<br />

dishes that offer a high protein<br />

content. A medium-sized russet<br />

potato contains five grams of<br />

protein. Alternatively, you can<br />

also go for sweet potatoes or red<br />

potatoes, although their protein<br />

content is not as high as that of<br />

russet potatoes.<br />
