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!!!!
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
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.
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 😊
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!
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?
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.
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.🙂🙂🙂🙂
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?
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 😊💕
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 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.
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.
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! 👍🏻
Hi Alyssa. I clicked the link provided to download the plant-powered protein guide and I entered my email but it downloaded a salad recipe list and there's no protein guide in the salad recipe list. Did I do something wrong? thanks sq!
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.

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!

Ok I think you finally sold me on trying quinoa
Wow this is great information, thanks 😊

I think that people ask because they care and they just don't know about plant based nutrition
Sun flower butter is great for peanut allergies
Do you have any heavy plant-protein based recipes? This would be recipes that contain at least 3 different sources of protein?
Thank you so much for the video, very instructive and helpful. I'm trying to limit my intake of meat until I cut it out completely from my diet😁.
Pumpkin seeds are excellent food also! Very healthy.
Thanks for posting

Same thought! * ^ *
This video needs a million view if you want a healthy life. Thanks the video, it's very much helpful.
Nice video so helpful I have all except tempeh & Tahini. Need to get them. I love Kale & Spinach daily for protein :-)
Also ancient black rice/forbidden rice is so tasty & 5G per 1/2 cup!!!
I love tofu but i tried tempeh and it had a sour taste to it and me nor my family liked it How can i remove the sour taste from it
Loved ittt!!! Im surprised that u didn’t talk about tofu
I mentioned it in the tempeh section :) This video was focused on my faves and what I use in my diet and tofu isn't really one of them!
Do you recommend the best tasting Tahini. I know it's kind of high in fat, but is it a good fat. I hope I hope, lol.
I had no idea nutritional yeast had that much protein. I love nutritional yeast! Great video!
