Got #BodyGoals? Here's 12 Sources of Plant Protein for You to Love

Confession: I haven’t hardcore worked out in a gym in at least 🙈🤔 5 good years. 

This body is fully sustained from walking & biking + eating a predominantly plant-based diet with occasional fish and seafood. And I’m getting ready to cut out the latter. 

Of course people are always super-concerned about protein intake as a vegetarian. So, I made a quick video to talk about what I typically eat to make sure I'm getting my share. 

Typical Stuff I Like & Eat
Edamame
Lentils
Black beans
Nuts (particularly peanuts and cashews)
Steel Cut Oats
Spinach
Avocado toast

Supplements
Bee Pollen

Meat Substitutes
Gimme Lean Veggie Sausage
Field Harvest
Morning Star Veggie Bacon

Bonus sources that I haven’t tried
Spirulina
Beyond Meat

Additionally, there are about 10 things that I consistently buy or have on hand that are the fundamentals in my diet.

Dark leafy greens
Water/Coconut water
Manazana bananas
Avocado
Brown rice
Egg whites
Green smoothies/juice
Tomatoes
Mangoes
Whole grain breads

I usually have fruit, tea & water soon after waking. Then I’ll have my heaviest meal around lunch, or as I like to call it, 2nd breakfast. Dinner is typically light— salad or rice & veggies. Sounds boring, but I just have a rotation of foods that I like and work for me. 

Of course I like to mix in some fish tacos, enchiladas, or a platter of crab and garlic noodles, baked mac & cheese, grits, bbq salmon, yams, veggie burger with fries & a milkshake, shrimp Alfredo, pizza & michelada, margaritas, yellow cake with chocolate icing, peach cobbler, red wine, VODKA, all the good sh*t. But that’s not functional for everyday consumption.

My regular days consist primarily of avocado toast with eggs, a green juice or smoothie, Yerba mate, stir fry with rice, and salad. Rinse & repeat some variation.
