Healthy Vegetarian Food

1. Spirulina

Spirulina is a blue-green algae and king among proteins. It has a very high protein concentration of 70%. This means it contains more protein than meat and dairy. Spirulina powder can easily be added to a smoothie or dish or you can take supplements daily.

2. Peanut butter

It is not only healthy, but also tasty and rich in protein. Peanut butter contains about 25g of protein per 100g. In general, most types of peanut butter are vegan.

3. Nuts and peanuts

These vegan proteins are not to be missed. Peanuts contain most proteins at 26 g per 100 g. Almonds, pistachio, and cashew nuts are also good options. Eat them as a snack or add them to a vegetarian curry.

4. Porridge oats

Oatmeal is a perfect breakfast or post-workout meal to consume protein. It contains about 13 grams of protein per 100 grams and is easy to combine with other vegan proteins. Add soy milk (good for 7 g protein), a spoonful of peanut butter, a handful of nuts and some blueberries and you’ve created your own protein booster.

5. Tofu and tempeh

These meat substitutes both contain 12g of protein per 100g and are very versatile. For example, you can use them for all kinds of stir-fry dishes, curries and salads, or eat them loosely fried next to a portion of vegetables and rice.

6. Vegan protein powder

If you feel you need an extra boost in addition to these plant-based products, try one of the many vegan protein shakes that are available nowadays.
