Vegan protein source #9: Quinoa
Though touted as a “high protein grain,” quinoa is actually a seed and is not as high in protein as you might think, although it is on the list of complete proteins that aren’t meat. One-half cup of cooked quinoa contains 4 grams of protein. Quinoa is typically used as a replacement for rice, which has half the amount of protein for the same portion, so quinoa is a better choice. Naturally gluten-free, it’s perfect in salads, sides, and more delicious vegan dishes. Try quinoa-stuffed bell peppers as a tasty dinner entrée, or experiment with other creative quinoa recipes. Quinoa also works well in baked goods.
