Plant Proteins: Complete Guide

Why plant proteins?

Contrary to popular belief, plant proteins can cover all your nutritional needs. They're often associated with fiber, antioxidants and minerals, unlike animal proteins which can come with saturated fats.

The best sources

Here are the most complete plant proteins:

• Tofu and tempeh: 15-20g protein per 100g
• Legumes (lentils, chickpeas): 9g per 100g cooked
• Quinoa: complete protein with all amino acids
• Hemp seeds: 25g protein per 100g
• Spirulina: 60-70% protein
• Peanut butter: 25g protein per 100g

Combining for completeness

Most plant proteins don't contain all essential amino acids. By combining grains and legumes (rice + lentils, bread + hummus), you get a complete protein profile.
