Since releasing The Proof is in the Plants, and my
original 2 Week Meal Plan, I have had many people ask
for examples of higher protein recipes. Ask and you shall
receive, my friends.
A higher protein intake (above the RDI) is important for
those with athletic endeavours and plays a central role
in healthy aging to avoid osteoporosis and sarcopenia
– two age related conditions that can severely affect
quality of life and life expectancy.
Thus, learning how to cook higher-protein plant-based
meals is not just for athletes but is valuable for all of us.
While there are specific protein recommendations for
optimal health (1.6g/kg for athletes and 1.2g/kg for all
other adults)1, 2, it doesn't have to be overly complicated.
By simply being 'protein aware', and making protein
rich plant foods the centre piece of your meals, you will
consistently consume a healthy amount of protein.
