Where do Vegans get their protein?

If you're considering a vegan diet, you may be wondering how you'll get enough protein. After all, protein is an essential nutrient that plays a key role in many bodily functions, including building and repairing tissues, making enzymes and hormones, and supporting a healthy immune system. But the good news is that it's possible to get plenty of protein on a vegan diet – and here at Healthy Substance, we're proud to offer a wide variety of delicious, protein-rich vegan dishes.

First of all, it's important to understand that protein is found in a variety of plant-based foods, not just animal products. Many vegetables, fruits, grains, nuts, and seeds contain protein, and some of these foods can be excellent sources of the nutrient. For example, a cup of cooked lentils contains about 18 grams of protein, while a cup of cooked quinoa contains about 8 grams. Nuts and seeds, such as almonds and sunflower seeds, are also high in protein, as are many vegetables, such as broccoli and spinach.

In addition to these whole plant-based foods, there are also many vegan protein sources that are specifically designed to provide high levels of the nutrient. These include plant-based protein powders, such as pea protein and rice protein, which can be added to smoothies or other dishes to boost their protein content. Vegan protein bars and snacks, such as those made with soy or chickpeas, are also a convenient way to get protein on the go.

At Healthy Substance, we're committed to providing our customers with delicious and nutritious plant-based dishes that are packed with protein. Our menu includes a variety of protein-rich entrees, such as our burritos, tacos, tortas and gorditas, as well as protein-packed sides, such as our refried beans. And for a protein-packed snack or dessert, be sure to add protein powder to our Smoothies for a delicious nutritious drink. The chocolate smoothie + protein powder + peanut butter is 🤤.
