I think a good baseline for the breakfast kale smoothie would be kale, apple,
almond milk (or any other type of dairy free milk) and some
protein like
nuts /
nut butter.
The
nuts and
almond butter provide some healthy
protein and fat and if you choose to add in the collagen
protein you make this especially helpful for the joints, intestinal lining, hair and skin.
That said, some plant foods have a higher bioavailability of
protein compared to other plant foods so if you want to increase your plant
protein, here are 10 rich sources: lentils, beans, peanuts, tree
nuts (such as cashews and
almonds), seeds (such as hemp seeds, chia seeds, and sesame seeds), quinoa, leafy greens, nutritional yeast, tofu and tempeh, wild rice, and green vegetables like broccoli.
As long as they put
protein (
almond butter,
nut milk, clean
protein powder) and antioxidant - plants (berries, greens) in it.
A typical full day of eating for me looks like: Breakfast: Spinach, Mushroom, Onion and Tomato Frittata... sometimes with bacon or homemade sausage Iced Coffee with coconut milk Lunch (this is usually my largest meal of the day): 4 - 5 ounces of
protein (turkey burger, pulled pork, chicken thighs, ground buffalo), roasted veggies and sometimes a sweet potato or butternut squash Snack: apple with
almond butter or a handful of macadamia
nuts Dinner: A large salad with all kinds of raw veggies (cucumber, celery, carrots, cauliflower), avocado or olives, usually a lighter
protein like grilled chicken breast, salmon or shrimp This would represent a full menu... I would say I hit this about 4 - 5 days a week, other days I may omit the snack or keep the snack and omit a meal, if i do that though I would add a bit of
protein with it.
For any vegan / vegetarian people, I love this Chickpea Flour Flatbread with New Potatoes and Basil by Dolly And Oatmeal, I think that it would go perfectly with some fresh leafy salads to share around, and perhaps topped with some toasted
almonds and pine
nuts for extra
protein, too.
I've chosen
nuts and seeds rich in quality
protein — hemp hearts and
almonds.
In fact, when asked to formulate their ideal bar, consumers in a recent survey selected
almonds as the top
nut for inclusion, and granola, dark chocolate, oats, coconut and strawberry followed closely behind.1 Of the consumers who chose
almonds as an ingredient in their ideal bar, «taste» (71 %) was the number one reason, followed by «heart healthy» (56 %) and to «add
protein» (52 %).
I know most
nut flours are about the same
protein content, so subbing flax /
almond / coconut won't make much of a difference.
