To ensure you consume enough protein on a vegan diet, your focus should be to include protein rich foods and/or drinks at each main meal with around 20-25g of protein per serve. This also applies to mid-afternoon snacks. This will ensure a constant supply of amino acids are fuelling your lean muscle gains. Falling short of this target consistently, in terms of protein timing and/or the amount of protein, can lead to an inability to gain muscle and recover appropriately.

How do I get enough protein in a plant-based diet?

Common and cost effective plant-based foods include legumes, beans, tofu, tempeh, edamame, hemp seeds, sprouted grains and nutritional yeast. These are highest in protein and should be the foundation of any vegan or plant-based diet. Along with these foods, quinoa, wholewheat pasta and brown rice contain a considerable amount of protein and should not be overlooked when planning a vegan or plant-based diet.

Which plants are highest in protein?

Plant-based and vegan diets tend to be high in fibre, which, if your current diet is not usually high in fibre, can initially make you feel bloated. The trick with increasing your fibre intake is to do it gradually, to allow your gut to get used to digesting fibre. Think of your gut as a muscle; you need to train it so it can get stronger. So, over time, as you gradually increase your intake of fibre, your digestive tract will be more efficient at digesting fibre and you will be able to increase your intake over time.

Is plant-based protein harder to digest?

A vegan or plant-based diet can be a very healthy diet when planned properly. You must ensure you are getting enough protein and micronutrients on a daily basis. The foundations of a healthy diet are usually based around dietary fibre. This helps to fuel the gut, which tends to be responsible for maintaining your immune system and overall health and wellbeing. Micronutrients such as iron, Vitamin B12 and Zinc can be at risk when consuming this type of diet and should be a focal point from a dietary perspective or through supplementation.

Is a vegan or plant-based diet healthier?

A vegan diet consists of non-animal-based foods and products, such as dairy, meat and seafood and is instead filled with plants, grains, legumes and seeds. A plant-based diet is a more flexible style of intake, which consists mainly of plants, grains, legumes and seeds. However, it may still contain small amounts of dairy, meat, fish and seafood. Many people tend to try a plant-based diet first, to see whether they enjoy being on a diet higher in plant-based foods, before transitioning to a completely vegan diet. 

What’s the difference between vegan and plant-based diets?

The vegan “meats” we use in our vegan range are a combination of brown rice, pea and/or soy protein. They include oils such as sunflower and coconut oil along with natural colours and flavours, generally from beetroot plus added vitamins and minerals.

What is your vegan meat made from?

Vegan meats or meat substitutes are a healthy and more sustainable way to eat meat due to the lower impact it has on the environment. It is a more processed version of real meat, however, modern processes have refined their techniques to minimise the steps taken to produce these meat substitutes. Meat substitutes can be a convenient and healthy option for those looking to include high protein, plant-based foods in their diet. To see the healthy ingredients that comprise our vegan meats, see our earlier FAQ.
