Vegan Protein – ‘But where do you get your Protein from?

Vegan Protein, a controversial topic for anyone new or accustomed to the Vegan diet. As a Vegan it’s almost impossible to dodge the controversial, ”but do you really get enough protein” debate. Sometimes you’ve just got to take it with a pinch of salt and blow them away with the strength obtained from plant power.

The best thing about Vegan Protein is buddha bowls, a favourite of yogis, health bloggers and of course Vegans. Buddha bowls are easy to make and are packed with Vegan protein. Plus it’s a pretty free-styled dish. There is no set recipe for a Buddha Bowl except pure Vegan love.  So the next time someone asks, ”but where do you get your protein from?” Blow them away with your best Buddha Bowl inspired Vegan protein dish

For an extra protein kick, sprinkle any kind of seed over your Buddha bowl. Hemp seeds, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds or flax seed.

 My favourite plant-based protein aka Vegan Protein

• Tofu- because you can deep fry it- adding a nice squishy-crunch to your Buddha bowl
•   Edamame Beans are high in protein, magnesium, minerals and vitamins too
• You can buy this for cheap at any Chinese supermarket in Cape Town
• Find a Chinese Supermarket near you

Still not convinced?

• Ever heard of Tempeh? It’s chewy, nutty and packs in more protein and fibre than tofu
• Find out where to buy it in Cape Town 

Still confused about where to get your protein from and if you’re getting enough protein?
