To make sure your vegan diet is complete, you want to include one or more of the following protein sources in your diet.

Top 5 vegan protein sources: Animal products contain all the amino acids our bodies need to make protein. Most plants, unfortunately, are missing one or two of these building blocks.

To make sure your vegan diet is complete, you want to include one or more of the following protein sources in your daily diet.

Soy-based products

Soybean, tofu and edamame all come from one source: the soybean plant! These legumes contain all the 20 amino acids the human body needs, and there are many ways to process or cook this amazing plant.

Don’t like beans lime flavour? Go to the tofu. You can fry or fry this versatile soy maker, making it a perfect vegetarian alternative to hot dogs on July 4th.

Lentils

Like soybeans, lentils are a lentil product that packs your essential amino acids. As most people know from lentil soup, this versatile lentil can be used in many ways. Try making vegetarian paprika or mashing them in a veggie burger.

The texture of the legumes holds the grandmother together, and you can grill it to give the edges a crunch.

Chickpeas

Chickpeas lend themselves to a wide variety of delicious recipes but are most popular as they are the basic ingredient of hummus. Season with garlic, red peppers, olive meat, basil or any other spices or herbs you like.

Pour some pita chips into a pan or warm up a whole grain pita bread to enjoy a high-protein, high-fibre, low-fat snack.

Nuts products

If the beans system is not for you, here are some crunchy alternatives. Nuts make a great dessert in vegetarian dishes and complement it as a lunch snack. But most of all, they are high in protein and healthy fats.

Whether you enjoy classic peanut butter or trendy cashews and almond butter, nuts are best in the form of butter.

Seitan

Wheat is also made from a protein called Seitan gluten. This thin product contains a large number of amino acids, which are low in lysine as they come from wheat. But this is a good addition to a balanced diet.

Lysine deficiency should not be a concern if you eat a wide variety of plants and plant products.
