easily subbed for meat in many meals. Recent shifts to plant-based protein rate this as one of
the best sources of plant-based protein according to Arizton's a recent plant-based protein
market report. Studies show that soy may help prevent chronic diseases like cancer, heart
disease, and diabetes. It’s also perfectly safe for kids
3. Sprouted Whole Grain Bread: Whole grain bread has about 6 grams of protein per slice. That
means one sandwich is packing about a fourth of your daily needs before we even get to the
filling! Whole grains are also an excellent source of fiber, which helps to maintain a healthy
digestive system and prevent chronic diseases like cancer and cardiovascular disease.
4. Quinoa: Quinoa is what some people would call a “complete protein”. All whole plant foods
contain all 9 essential amino acids, some just have lower amounts than others. Still, quinoa, like
tofu, has a large amount of all of the essential amino acids and 8 grams of protein per cup,
making it a really great plant-based protein option.
5. Oats: Like bread, most people think only of carbohydrates when they think of oats. But whole
rolled oats pack about 11 grams of protein per cup.
6. Broccoli: This vegetable is cruci-ferocious. That’s because one cup of cooked broccoli has almost
4 grams of protein. That’s quite a bit for a veggie. In fact, broccoli actually has more protein than
some types of beef. While you’d have to eat a ton of broccoli to equal the amount in a steak,
most plant-based eaters would be up for that challenge.
7. Lentils:While all beans pack a ton of plant protein, lentils top the list with about 18 grams of
protein per cup.
8. Nutritional Yeast: These nutty yellow flakes are a plant-based eater essential. Two tablespoons
contain about 8 grams of protein, an ample dose of iron, and a plethora of B vitamins.
9. Peanut Butter Powder: While peanut butter is a great source of healthy fat, peanut butter
powder gives you more protein per calorie so it’s a great way to boost the plant protein content
of meals.
10. Hemp Seeds: Hemp seeds get about 6 and a 1/2 grams of protein per two tablespoons and are
so easy to toss into salads, smoothies, and bowls to add a punch of plant-based protein.
