5. Nutritional yeast.
“I love to sprinkle nutritional yeast on pasta salads, rice, roasted veggies, and even popcorn,” says Gorin. “Nutritional yeast is packed with 2 to 3 grams of protein, plus minerals like iron. You’ll also sometimes find nutritional yeast fortified with B vitamins, such as vitamin B12.”
6. Nuts and seeds.
Aside from being an excellent source of plant-based protein, nuts also deliver fiber, antioxidants, fatty acids, and disease-fighting properties. Regular nut consumption has been shown to decrease the risk of certain chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes and cancer.
