High-Protein Veggies For Vegans

One of the biggest misconceptions for non-vegans about vegans is that vegan cuisine does not have any reliable sources of proteins. So, here’s an article to debunk the wrong idea. There are so many protein-rich sources other than meat! Here are four of them:

Peas



These small green delights are usually found as sides or appetizers, but actually, peas are one of the greatest sources of protein in the plant kingdom. Although little in size, there are countless ways that you can utilize peas. For brunch, you can try the energizing Peas on Toast with Mint and Radishes by checking the recipe here. Lisa Lott’s Peas With Shallots, Mushrooms, and Tarragon will be a good addition to your healthy vegan dinner.



Spinach



Popeye the Sailorman’s fascination with spinach does not stop on the cartoons, spinach is really a great vegan superfood. Spinach is a known source of protein for vegans, thus people have been creating tasty and healthy meals around it. Check out Meda Swaminathan’s glorious Spinach and Basil White Pizza which will surely stand out during game nights, and OneGreenPlanet’s Raw Spinach Cheesecake that should be a part of your weekly vegan dessert menu.


Kale


Kale has always been a vegan staple, not just because it makes food taste better, but because, kale is one of the most nutrient-dense foods nature has to offer. This protein-rich veggie is also loaded with antioxidants and cancer-fighting substances, so having kale daily will make your body healthier. If you are looking for yummy kale recipes, you can check EatingWell’s nutrient-packed Kale Powered Pasta or/and the amazing Grilled Kale Bundles with Sour Cherry-Chipotle Drizzle.




Broccoli


Broccolis have a bad reputation, especially for kids. But this oddly-shaped vegetable is a very good source of proteins among other important nutrients for the body. Broccolis are so versatile that you can do almost all styles of cooking with it. If you want to take broccolis in a vegan food challenge, you can cook Yummly’s Vegan Broccoli Quiche or PickledPlum’s Vegan Broccoli Tots.
