At the beginning of a new year, we often look for resolutions to improve our overall happiness–from committing to a new workout routine and improving our diets to bettering our contribution to the planet and searching for ways to give back to the community. A common resolution amongst the Fluidform community has been to incorporate a more plant-based diet–limiting our intake of meat to support our heart health, while reducing our environmental footprint and costs.
The main question we often receive is, how do I get enough protein?
We love this question, because we love to share the abundance of plant-based proteins available to us, each containing a multitude of nutritional benefits for our skin, gut and digestive health.
If you are wanting to reduce your meat intake or opting for a more plant-rich diet, here are our 5 favourite plant-based protein sources + 5 recipes ideas.
