Protein-Rich Recipes

Fear of not getting enough protein is a big reason people do not choose plant-based diets. I want to show that you CAN eat an abundance of nourishing, delicious plant protein if that is important to you.

While many high-protein vegan recipes contain unhealthy amounts of fat, I’ve created the meal recipes in this book to be equal or lower in fat than in protein–with at least 15 grams of protein and no more than 15 grams of fat per serving of a meal. Snacks have lower amounts of protein since they are smaller portions. Lower-fat high-protein recipes are unusual and no easy feat! Look at any standard high-protein recipe and you’ll see that it most likely took a LOT of fat and calories to get to that amount of protein. In addition, most plant-based protein-rich recipes use a lot of processed ingredients, whereas I try not to.

Athletes, pregnant women, the elderly, and certain other groups of people can benefit from more protein, and I hope this book is helpful to them or anyone in a stage of life needing or wanting more. No need to turn to beef or eggs, I’ve got you!
