Proteins are a nutrient of great importance for our body, and we must take special care of their intake in diets based on foods of plant origin. That’s why in the weekly diet this time we leave a vegan menu rich in quality protein with various recipes included.
There are not a few plant-based foods that can offer us a large proportion of protein and that, properly combined, allow us to obtain all essential amino acids; that is, to achieve a supply of protein of sufficient quality for our body.
This sense, we recommend that we skip legumes and whole grains that in combination, achieve a complete protein. Similarly, we recommend the use of nuts, seeds and pseudocereals such as quinoa that contain a high proportion of protein.
On the other hand, we can include vegetable drinks derived from legumes and nuts, as well as tofu, seitan or textured soy which are excellent alternatives to add a large proportion of proteins to a vegan menu.
Taking this into account, we leave the following option of weekly vegan diet with various recipes included, which allow us to achieve a supply of complete proteins enough in the daily table:
Monday
Tuesday
Wednesday
Thursday
Friday
Saturday
Sunday
As always, we advise customize the menu to get more out of it, being able to modify recipes, portions and others.
Secondly, we can go to vegan substitutes such as, for example, vegetable cheeses, soy yogurts and other options that also allow proteins to be incorporated into the daily table.
