Chickpeas and almonds contains almost as much protein as steak
In a recent chat with EatFirst about plant-based diets, Greg McFarlane, a director at Vegan Australia, mention that it's a common myth that you're not able to become strong on a vegan diet and this is a great example of busting that myth.
According to Better Health, "If you follow a vegetarian or vegan diet, as long as you eat a wide variety of foods, you can usually get the protein you need."
While eating 100g of steak could contain up to 25g of protein, the same amount of chick peas contains 21g and almonds a whopping 28g!
And if that's an excuse to eat even more hummus, we'll take it!
I didn't know this. I do now. A much better option.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day and rest of the week. ♥
I did. And suspect that most of us eat more protein than we need anyway.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if cashews and peanuts would be OK too because almonds are too hard for me.
ReplyDeleteDidn't realize
ReplyDeleteHummus and almonds are staples to me.
ReplyDeleteBut I don't like chick peas! I'll stick with a small steak once a week.
