One of the biggest concerns I hear from would-be plant eaters is that they are worried they are not getting enough protein.

This is a valid concern. As we age it’s imperative we get enough protein to support our body functions, manage weight, and also to maintain strong muscles (unfortunately we’re not 25 anymore!). But it is completely possible to get enough protein from a well-planned plant-based diet.

So today I’m sharing 10 main dish recipes and 5 snacks that are rich in plant protein, but don’t skimp on flavor. And let me know…would you like to have more protein-packed recipes? I’d love to develop more tasty recipes for you.

DID YOU KNOW? 🧐

Research indicates that replacing some animal-based protein with plant-based protein sources may help decrease the risk of developing chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and some cancers. Plant-based foods contain important antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that benefit overall health. Additionally, the fiber in plant proteins lend to increased satiety and improved gut health. Plant-based proteins also have a lower environmental impact as more greenhouse gasses are emitted with the production of animal-based proteins. (source)
