So, should we all be jumping on the vegan trend?
So, how easy is it to pack protein into a diet that, from the outside, looks pretty damn cruciferous?
The answer lies in the amount of protein in plants vs meat. 100g of kidney beans contain around 8.5g of protein, compared to 29g of protein in 100g of fillet steak. You’ve either got to consume much, much more food in total, or rely on supplements. Some vegan proteins are just as effective as dairy proteins like whey and casein, but not all.
The good news is that regardless of where you get your protein from, it behaves in the same way. Whatever your source; protein is protein.
Consider this curdled soy milk an edible sponge (stay with us), soaking up the flavour of whatever juices and spices you cook it in. Not only does tofu have a 3:1 protein-to-carb ratio, but it’s also linked to a reduced risk of prostate cancer, say US scientists. Can sausages do that?
There’s one thing knowing the foods, it’s another actually being able to throw them together and create a dish. Here’s our selection of vegan recipes that contain healthy levels of protein.
