10 VEGAN SOURCES OF PROTEIN

Meat-eaters will never stop asking and vegans always get sick of hearing it: 

“How do you get your protein?”

The image of a skinny (not to mention gangly and dread-headed) hippie has typically been the poster child of veganism. After all, there’s no way we can be muscular, fit and even bulky as vegans, right? Wrong.

Vegan athletes like Brendan Brazier, Rich Roll, and Jimi Sitko are changing the negative stereotypes, proving that plant-based protein can not only build strong muscles, but can keep a vegan healthy enough to run, swim, bike, dance or pump iron – no flesh-eating necessary.

So how do you get your protein? Here are 10 vegan sources to try on for size:

1. Veggies: Yep, good old greens will pack a protein punch. One cup of cooked spinach has about 7 grams of protein. The same serving of French beans has about 13 grams. Two cups of cooked kale? 5 grams. One cup of boiled peas? Nine grams. You get the idea.
2. Hemp. No, you don’t have to get high to get your protein. But toss 30 grams of hemp powder in your smoothie and get about 11 grams of protein – just like that.
3. Non-Dairy Milk. Got (soy) milk? A mere 1 cup of soy or almond milk can pack about 7-9 grams of protein. Eat with some fortified cereal and you’ve got a totally vegan-friendly breakfast.
4. Nut Butter. Eat up your peanut butter, almond butter and cashew butter. A couple of tablespoons of any one of these will get you 8 grams of protein.
5. Quinoa. I kinda think quinoa is God’s gift to vegans (and gluten-free peeps!), as it’s versatile, delicious and delivers about 9 grams of protein per cup.
6. Tofu. Four ounces of tofu will get you about 9 grams of protein. And at about 2 bucks a pop, it’s a cheap vegan’s BFF.
7. Lentils. With lentils, you can make rice dishes, veggie burgers, casseroles and more. One cup cooked delivers a whopping 18 grams of protein!
8. Beans. They really are the magical fruit. With one cup of pinto, kidney or black beans, you’ll get about 13-15 grams of protein, a full belly and heart-healthy fiber.
9. Tempeh. One cup of tempeh packs abour 30 grams of protein! That’s more than 5 eggs or a regular hamburger patty.
10. Sprouted-grain bread. Pack a sandwich with vegan sprouted-grain bread and you’ll get about 10 grams of protein in the bread alone.

This is great info for clean eating, in general.

Taking Care of Your Body Chemistry can have a Pretty Big Impact on The Way You Look and Feel.

Our blood should be slightly alkaline. We tend however to eat more acidic foods than basic ones. This is a problem for a number of reasons.

Decreases the ability to absorb minerals and nutrients.

Decreases the ability to repair damaged cells (prolonged injury)

Decreases energy production in cells

Decreases the ability to detoxify heavy metals

Tumor cells can thrive

Makes your body more susceptible to fatigue and illness

Diet should be 60% alkaline and 40% acidic in general.

To really restore your health you’re going to need about 80% alkaline food balance in your diet for at least 2 weeks.

A general guideline would be to eat more vegetables (Alone, or in salads and mixed with proteins), drink most of your water with lemons, and vary your diet.

Try different foods, take some time to experiment. It’s fun and your body will thank you.

Alkalizing Foods:

Broccoli
Carrots
Celery
Greens
Cucumber
Garlic
Mushrooms
Peppers
Sweet Potatoes
Apples
Lemons
Almonds
Cinnamon
Stevia

Foods that are acidic:

Corn
Blueberries
Bread
Flour
Noodles
Rice
Beans
Soy
Dairy
Eggs
Meat
Sugar
Liquor
Soft Drinks
Artificial sweetners

Looking at the acidic column it’s easy to see most of these foods are bad for you anyways. Cut some of the big ones and you’re going to notice big changes, regardless.

Have a great weekend!

Josh

Day 9: Favourite shoes

I like cutesy shoes. And comfortable shoes. And I don’t own that many.. so yeah, this is it.

Day 8: A book you like

Best. Book. Ever. My own hard copy has fallen apart (*blush*) so I’ve borrowed someone else’s. Taking a picture of my Kindle isn’t nearly so pretty…

Day 7: Something blue

A fabulous wedding cake. It was an equally fabulous wedding and party afterwards :)
