PLANT PROTEINS IN THE SPOTLIGHT
VEGETABLE PROTEINS IN THE SPOTLIGHT
Collaboration with St-Méthode Bakery
Whether for environmental or health reasons, many have decided to reduce their consumption of animal protein. Eating less meat is even a New Year's resolution. Meatless Mondays are more popular than ever and many consumers are even giving up animal protein several days a week. Vegetable proteins, unlike animal proteins, do not have all the essential amino acids (the basic constituents of proteins) so that we must, during the day, supplement our diet with other complementary proteins. This is why cereals are traditionally combined with legumes (couscous and chickpeas or black beans and corn or even legumes with nuts (lentil salad with walnuts, chickpea curry with almonds).
As a nutritionist, I not only love the nutritional value of vegetable proteins but also their taste! In my practice, I strongly encourage my clients to integrate them more into their menu. Low in saturated fat, often high in fibre, vitamins and minerals, vegetable proteins are very nutritious. However, it takes more than a few chickpeas in a salad to meet its protein needs. The recommended serving of legumes ranges from 180 ml (¾ cup) to 250 ml (1 cup) per meal. As for tofu, it takes 100 g for a balanced meal. Nuts and seeds (especially hemp) are also good sources of protein, but you have to eat a good amount of them to get enough protein. It is therefore better to combine them with legumes (lentil salad with walnuts, tofu in a hemp crust, etc.). Want to make more room for vegetable proteins Try silken tofu in your smoothie in the morning, replace ground meat with crumbled tofu in your chili or spaghetti sauce and add lentils or red beans to your soups. It's a good start, no doubt that over the weeks, you will want to consume even more!!
Vegetable proteins:
* Are low in saturated fat, often high in fibre, vitamins and minerals
* Good substitute for meat
* Are versatile and lend themselves to several culinary preparations

Quels sont les meilleures protéines végétal et ou on peut se les procurer?
Merci beaucoup.@Céline Je vous inviterais à vérifier https://equipenutrition.ca/ avec qui nous collaborons pour nos services cliniques. Vous pourrez choisir des repas selon vos contraintes.
Je suis végétarienne et j’ai une alimentation ancestrale, anti -inflammatoire i.e. sans gluten, sans produits laitiers et sans sucre raffiné.
Avez-vous des mets qui correspondent . Je viens de découvrir votre site internet .@Gabrielle : Optez pour un produit exempt de colorants ou autres additifs. En fait, la PVT est le résultat du dégraissage et du séchage de la protéine de soya (plus une transformation de type physique que de type chimique). J’aime la PVT et oui, elle remplace avantageusement la viande hachée dans les recettes! :)
Bonjour,
Que penser de la PVT? N’est-ce pas un peu trop transformé? L’apport en protéines, si on remplace par exemple le boeuf haché pour faire un chili, est-il comparable?
Merci, Gabrielle
