The 5 "S’s" of Plant Protein—Make 15-20g Per Meal EASY!

One of the things I often help online coaching clients with is, Making Plant-based Protein Simple. To also make it FUN, I came up with:

?????? The 5 "S's" of Plant Protein! ??????

? STAR: This is the main dish where the protein is the main event. Like: lentil curry, tofu scramble and bean burgers.

?? These are all perfect to food prep and keep in the freezer.

?? SCATTER OVER: You finish your meal off with a scattering of protein pimps. Like: a tablespoon of hemp or pumpkin seeds, a 1/2 cup of 4 bean mix, a handful of crispy quinoa.

?? I’ve been known to carry these with me when eating out somewhere I’m not sure there will be a balanced vegan meal option. (Yes, even mini-cans of 4-beans have traveled in my hand-bag)

?? STIR THROUGH: Your smoothie, salad or stew is high nutrient value yet light on plant protein? Stir some protein powder into that smoothie or dairy free yoghurt. Stir some canned chickpeas / lentils through that salad or stew.

?? Lentils cooked on mass keep great in the fridge. Plus it’s handy way to power through those random herbs and spices I know we all collect.

?? SIDE: The perfect chance to turn a low protein meal into a complete meal. Try: a 1/2 cup of edamame, crispy chickpeas or crispy butter beans.

?? Mix with optional flavours (salt, garlic powder, onion power, harissa mix etc) and throw these in the air-frier (20 minutes on high) for a super, simple hit of protein and, texture!

?? SAUCE: For plant protein and delicious flavour! Try: hummus, tofu ricotta, edamame guacamole.

?? The easiest way to dress up a 5 minute meal like a bean burger bowl, falafel wrap or nourish bowl.
