Veganism abstains from the use of all kinds of animal-based products in the diet. Here are five high-protein vegan foods that can help you shed those extra kilos.
Tofu and soy products
Tofu is made of soy milk, which is an excellent alternative to regular milk sourced from animals.
Beans
Beans like kidney beans, black beans, or chickpeas are a good source of protein and essential amino acids. You can add them to your diet in the form of salads, sprouts, and curries.
Legumes
Legumes are a rich source of digestible fibre which can help keep you full for longer and prevent cravings.
Chia seeds
Chia seeds are a good source of fibre and protein which makes them perfect for weight loss. You can include them in your low-fat and low-cal smoothies or drinks to accelerate your weight loss diet.
Green peas
Green peas are a plant-based source of protein and contain vitamins and minerals like thiamine and manganese.
