1. quinoa 2. beans 3. Lentils 4. hemp seeds ( protein and omega 3 acids) 5. nuts and seeds 6. nutritional yeast (1/4 cup = 18 g. protein) . fortified with Vit. B12 7. Tempeh ( 100 g of tempeh = 18 g. protein) 8. peanut butter ( 2 T. = 8-10 g. protein) 9. tahini ( 2 T. = 8-10 g. protein) 10. spirulina ( a blue green algae in powder form) , 2 T. = 8g. protein
These arec all great sources of protein however most of them also come loaded with carbs or in the case of peanut butter comes with lots of fat. Can you suggest any plant based proteins that are more pure protein. Many people have to count how many carbs they eat so any/all suggestions would be welcome :)
@@frick6946 thank you Fran ….I have a deep & long standing prejudice about tofu ….I feel it’s taken the blandness of rice, pasta, white processed bread & potatoes to whole different levels of tastelessness. I know it’s my own shit ….it just feels like a step too far even though I did eye up a tofu option in a taco joint recently I’ll look into your other suggestion after finishing up my vegan protein powder (that spoils the taste of pretty much everything I add it to) I’m sure as I add more carbs to my diet the answers will come. I won’t bore you with my diet ….unless you can’t sleep and then I’ll happily bore you to sleep with it
@@bruceparker6142 they just are for me. My DNA is highly sensitive to carbs & calories too. It’s less easy for me to manage weight if I eat more carbs and also I find myself feeling much hungrier if I eat more carbs.
A huge thank you for the free print out! This will really encourage more people to start a plant based diet! It’s really helpful for me, totally encouraging to know that getting protein won’t feel as difficult as I thought anymore! You are truly awesome in what you do! 💛
devious dom. Animals have much bigger guts than humans. The little protein they get from each plants will amount a lot due to the big volume they eat. Humans cannot eat that much. Herbivores also have rumens. The rumen is home to trillions of bacteria which ferment the grasses and turn it into fat. The bacteria body itself provide significant proteins for the herbivores. In short, the herbivores indirectly eat fats and proteins. Btw, humans are not eating grass, your premise of eating what the animals eat is wrong.
This video was SUPER informative !! I am interested in making a transition to more of a plant-based diet because lately I have noticed when I am consuming meat or even animal products in general, my body gets turned off and I almost lose my appetite. But a concern of mine, being a bodybuilder, is to make sure I know where I would consume most of my protein from. So this video helped to inform me a ton! The nutritional yeast protein content BLEW ME AWAY!!!! I had nooo idea it was that high in protein!! Thank you for this video!
This is such a great video! So informative!!! My mom always says to me “you need to eat more protein”. Now I can explain the facts to her that I definitively get enough!!!!
the actual answer (im a nutritionist) is that protein should make up 35% of your total calories. so adjust it how you need depending on if your cutting, maintaining or bulking. the recommended daily requirement is 45g/day for women and 55g for men.
I eat all of these, I cannot believe I didn’t realize nutritional yeast had that much protein! It is so delicious, I eat it on the daily. Great info!! xx
Good stuff! Thanks for educating me on spirulina as well as uses for tahini & nutritional yeast. I never really looked into those sources of protein, and I also wasn't aware that hemp seeds were so filled with nutrition. You're still having an impact 4 years later!
I have moved away from animal-based proteins for almost 2 years now and have not craved any animal protein at all and it really was not that difficult to do (for me at least it was not) but for others having an animal-based protein for so long it could be difficult, but this is a great list for anyone thinking of going vegetarian or vegan and want to make sure they are on the right path. Thank You for this list.🙂🙂🙂🙂
I love this video, I found that I get more protein as a plant based diet than I did as a vegetarian. I can't stand the smell or taste of meat or eggs post pregnancy and after birth I became anaphylactic allergic to dairy . So I found plant based protein easier to get.
I have never heard about "anaphylactic allergy". You can have anaphylactic reaction/shock or anaphylaxis due to being exposed to allergens that might lead to death if not rescued/prevented/helped. You might be allergic to diary though, and you might have an anaphylaxis if using diary and being allergic to it. The symptoms are not always that severe, but they vary. I have been allergic to stuff all my life so I know thing or two about it. Also new allergies can develop at any age. Best of luck.
Hello, I am planning a plant-based diet transition. I discovered your channel this morning. Do you have a recommended meal preparation cookbook? How long have you been plant-based? How do I access your blog posts?
Ground flax and chia seeds are something I like to use in lieu of all purpose wheat flour. Ground flax and chia are high fiber, high protein, and high omega alternative to using all purpose flour in gravies, soups, stews, sauces and wherever else you may be using ap flour as a thickener. They can also replace corn starch and eggs in certain recipes.
Dr. Michael Gregor just released a video on the healthiest type of legume and lentils top the list with chickpeas second. And here I was always assuming it was black beans. Can you do a video on how you get calcium?
At least 1/2-1 cup of beans or peas should be soaked for 12hrs the day before or overnight in water after washed and then pressure cooked for 10-15 mins.In 1/2-1 cup of water seasoned with salt,herbs and spices etc also eat solo with vegetables.
@@n.michaels1565 Nutritional yeast has a cheesy like flavor. It is delicious! I sprinkle it on almost everything. You can find it at Whole Foods, Trader Joes, health grocery stores. I highly recommend Bragg's.
Love ur info gorgeous...I have been a vegan for 2 months now n loving every minute of it keep up the good work and continue to staying gorgeous one love.
For the amount per day a general rule of thumb is 1-1.7 grams of protein per kg, this varies depending upon your exercise routine and life style, I can’t find any side effects of going over the recommended amount per day.
@@ivanwesteurope Supplements are the best option I think.. So vitamin B12 and vitamin D supplements are like the only ones a vegan needs in my opinion (the rest is found in food so it's possible to not depend on supplements) ^^
Thanks for this. Great video! I have DEFINITELY been asked this question and honestly its annoying and kinda rude. 🙄 I’m about to pick up some tempeh today. Cant wait to try it! 👍🏻
Much as I love hemp seeds, while they have omega-3 acids, they have 3x as much omega-6 acids - which is not good for inflammation as you want higher omega-3 than 6 in your diet.
Great video! Thank you 💖! I have been wanting to buy tempeh ... just not sure how to prepare it 😆... I don’t eat much soy either but wanted to give tempeh a try because it a better choice 😊
A great video but it would be better if you used the same measurement e.g. 1 cup, throughout so that it would be easier to compare one against the other.
Honey makes no difference it is still sugar! Seriously, do some research. You are better off avoiding as much sugar/ honey as you can and the same goes for the sugars and carbs in many vegetables and most fruits. Carbs are the great killer of our time and the cause of the obesity and diabetes epidemic and most non viral and bacterial diseases like cancer, arthritis and heart disease.
Oh poor you.. It's really cool that you still try to eat vegan most of the time ^^ but please take care of your health - that should be the most important thing (because I know exactly how hard it is to get all the important nutritions without the help of these 'super foods' like nuts and so on) So if you can't go vegan completely that's totally fine; your circumstances don't allow it to be that easy, you know? :)
JHNNDRS I’m lucky that I can have seeds so I usually have a porridge every morning with chia, sunflower and hemp seeds topped with some berries or mango or something. Still it’s pretty difficult to get those macros without some serious volume!
@@ShaunSteinberg perhaps if you use a coffee grinder to make them into a powder then you can have alot without being overwhelmed. You can then add them to stews, porridge, smoothies, cookies and even add them to your vegan burgers made with mushrooms and eggplant. Once ground keep them in the fridge or freezer in a glass jar. Did you say that you were allergic to lentils?
Great video on plant base protein! & yes ppl are always scare losing out on protein when becoming vegans so this was great. 👍🏼 We need more videos like this.
I went to your website to find recipes but I only found videos, and there weren't even amounts of each item, so there's no way for me to follow your recipes. Do you have your recipes written out anywhere? They look so yummy!
You should try instead of using purly almond flour for flour recipes try a 1:1 ration between flour and almond flour for a little bit of carbs and a little bit of protein and a little lest of the almond taste so its a heathier alterinitve to plainly just use almond flour.
Hi Alyssa.. Wow thanks so much for all your information! So very helpful!im new to plant based eating.. Just love your site !! Question if I may .. I take a multivitamin which has a lot on B12.. I’m wondering if one …. I should stop it and just take a B12 supplement. Or Two.. continue the multi vitamin and take an additional 12 supplement? Do plant based/vegans take a multivitamin? Just wondering what you do .. I realize your not a dr etc. Thank you 😊💕
Most people worry too much about protein (and there is an epidemic of too much protein consumption, that's another story)....the long-living Okinawans ate 85% carbs before they "westernized" their diet and as a result started to develop western diet diseases.....A good book to read is Proteinaholic.....also, if you're into weight training (even if you're not), check out Jonathan Irizarry's channel on RU-vid, he's smashing the protein myth to pieces; just observe what he eats....don't worry to much about protein, just eat whole food plant-based (oil is not WFPB) and smash in lots of quality WFPB calories and you should be fine...another good channel to follow is PlantbasedAthlete...he keeps it simple....cheers Good vid
Hey, Alyssa! Great video. Always love seeing everyone’s favorite sources of protein even though we, as plant based eaters, know that we neither need nearly as much as conventional wisdom would have us believe nor need to think about it after a while. I do want to point out that at one point (I believe it was when you were talking about quinoa), you talk about “complete protein”. Isn’t this an outdated approach to protein consumption? The concept of protein combining to get all 9 “essential” amino acids was eventually taken as untrue by the author who pioneered it, Francis Lappe. I’m hoping we can see a video about this topic on the future!
