The Best Reliable Plant Based Protein Sources!
Sprouts
- Sprouts of all kinds are nutritional powerhouses with a high protein content ranging from 20-35% protein. Not only that, but they’re also excellent sources of nutrients, vitamins and minerals.
- Broccoli sprouts contain 35% protein
- Pea Sprouts contain 25% protein
Greens
- Dark Green Vegetables will serve your protein needs and provide your body with calcium, chlorophyll, vitamins, minerals and amino acids
- Broccoli contains 45% protein
- Spinach contains 30% protein
- Kale contains 45% protein
Nuts & Seeds
- Nuts & Seeds are also sources of good healthy fats like omega 3, 6 & 9?s. There is a concern however surrounding the over consumption of omega 6?s and not getting enough 3?s. For this reason, eating nuts and seeds as part of a raw, vegan or vegetarian diet shouldn’t be considered the main protein source but used in addition to other foods with a lower fat content like sprouts & green vegetables.
- Hemp Seeds are the only food known to have a perfect harmony of omegas 3,6 & 9. They’re also 22% protein.
- Pumpkin seeds are 21% protein.
- Almonds are 12% protein per ounce.
Algae sources
- Spirulina is about 68% protein and also helps detoxify the body. It’s packed with vitamins and contains EFA’s (essential fatty acids).
- Chlorella is about 60% protein and is known for it’s rapid tissue repair properties. It’s a great food if you’re very physically active or have higher protein requirements. Use it in your shakes to help speed up recovery times.
Gabriel Cousens discussed the use of spirulina and chlorella for protein supplementation in an interview with Dr. Mercola. He gave an example of someone who wanted to consume 45g of protein per day (which is almost twice as high as what the American Nutritional Journals and World Health Organization recommend). If you were to consume 2 tbsp. of spirulina or chlorella with each meal (let’s say in a juice or smoothie), you would easily hit this mark for protein.
