Rich in diversity, plant based proteins are ideal for well balanced diets. High in protein and fiber, legumes such as black beans, chickpeas, and lentils are excellent for salads, soups, and stews. Made from soy, tofu and tempeh take up tastes nicely and are great in savory dishes when stir-fried, grilled, or baked. 

Complete protein quinoa is great in salads, bowls, or as a rice substitute; seitan, which is created from wheat gluten, has a meaty texture that's great for stir-frying or grilling. Nuts and seeds such as hemp, chia, and almonds add crunch, healthy fats, and protein to granola, smoothies, and salad dressings. 

Add plant based proteins by roasting almonds for flavor, mixing chickpeas into hummus, or marinating tofu or tempeh. Combine these proteins with fresh veggies, nutritious grains, and healthy fats for satisfying meals. Experiment with spices, herbs, and diverse cooking methods like roasting, sautéing, and grilling, to enhance taste and texture. This approach makes plant based eating varied, delicious, and nutritious.
