Stir fries are a quick and easy answer to a tasty meal that provides high nutrients and great flavors. Instead of sticking to rice or noodles with veg, add some of these vegan protein sources to your stir fry for a more nutritious fix.
Lentils
Lentils are a fantastic source of plant-based protein. Lentils also contain high fiber with just one cup providing 50% of your daily fiber needs.
Spirulina
Spirulina is an algae turned superfood. Just a couple of tablespoons of spirulina will provide you with 8 grams of protein. Even if you don’t like the taste, it’s easy to hide in soy sauce and spices!
Tofu or Tempeh
Tofu and tempeh are both made from soybeans. Soy is high in protein and contains essential amino acids. For the best tofu-based dish, make sure you marinate your tofu overnight before you add it to your meal.
Chickpeas
Chickpeas work great in a stir fry and even better in a curry. If you are not a fan, why not make hummus?
Chia Seeds
Chia seeds are high in protein and fiber too. They can be easily sprinkled on a stir fry for a crunchy and delicious finish.
