Mix Up Your Protein Sources

For many people, the idea that meat is not the only source of protein available can be a tough concept to accept. However, there is plenty of protein that exists in other sources such as nuts, seeds, beans, and legumes. In legumes and beans, you get a flavorful and hearty alternative to protein that is rich and filling while still being inexpensive. If you are comfortable with dairy and animal products, you can certainly find plenty of protein in eggs, yogurt, low-fat milk, and cheeses. Even produce can contain protein; for instance, spinach is a viable protein alternative to meat.

 

Bring Protein into Your Side Dishes

Many people think of their main dish as their sole source of protein, whether it has meat or not. However, your side dish is a great way to incorporate protein into your meal. Simply use beans, legumes, or greens. Even something as simple as quinoa is loaded with protein and can be incorporated easily into salads or stir-fries for a hidden dose of protein that fits seamlessly into any part of your dish.

 

Substitute Meat for Vegetarian Protein Meals

An easy way to keep protein in your diet while not relying on meat is utilizing soy in moderation. Make sure that it is not genetically modified—check the label to see if it says that it is “GMO free”—and stick to traditionally fermented soy products such as tofu and tempeh. Tempeh is made from soybeans that have been fermented and mixed with rice or barley. Because of the grains that are mixed into it, the tempeh has a nutty flavor and a firmer texture than tofu. It is also readily available as it is commonly used as a meat alternative.
