ReplyDeleteQUESTION: What are your favorite sources for vegan (i.e., plant-based) protein (raw or not)?
i have two favorite sources: black beans and hempseed. i LOVE mexican food, and hemp is such a useful little bugger :)
- r
Quinoa. I love the stuff, and it is my 2 year old daughter's favorite food!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite protein sources are: Sunwarrior (chocolate and vanilla), Garden of Life Raw Protein, Ruth's Hemp Protein, and of course, kale and sprouts.
I have lots of favorite plant based protein sources --> Black Beans, Hemp Seeds & Hemp Protein Powders, whole grains (Brown Rice & Quinoa), and Tempeh.
ReplyDeleteWhen I want raw protein sources, I stick with hemp seeds/oil or almond/hemp butter. My favorite cooked sources are quinoa and black beans (especially black bean soup or chili).
ReplyDeleteNow that the weather is warming up, I'm really amping up my workouts and trying to build some lean muscle. Protein grenades sound perfect!
Raw almonds and other nuts (which include homemade nut butters), hemp protein, organic beans, seeds
ReplyDeleteGood old fashioned beans for me. They may not be super protein-packed, but the fact that they come with plenty of fiber to help keep me full makes just a half cup far more satisfying than a giant 32-ounce protein shake!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations Kristen! What a great product. I can't wait to try.
ReplyDeleteCurrently my favorite is Vega sport protein! It's awesome.
Sunwarrior Protein -- it's practically perfect!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great giveaway! I was really excited by your first post about the protein grenades, so this is awesome!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite protein sources are beans, peanut butter, and protein powder. I've been using Spiru-Tein pea/rice/soy blend protein lately.

I really like brown rice or hemp protein powder. I also love having stir fry organic tofu with lots of veggies every now and again!
ReplyDeleteAwesome giveaway! I've actually been trying to consciously include more protein in my diet lately. I love to make a smoothie with unsweetened soy milk, brown rice protein powder, baby spinach, cinnamon, and stevia. It's delicious, and both the soy milk and protein powder make it protein-packed.
ReplyDeleteHemp protein powder and Hemp seeds! Thanks for the giveaway Kristin!

ReplyDeleteSharanya
We love Quinoa around here, I also love chia. I'm not sure if they are protein, we're new to all of this!
ReplyDeleteraw nut butters and greens!
ReplyDeleteGreens are my favorite vegan source of protein. Congrats on the new endeavor!
ReplyDeleteSo many choices! Kale, chia, hemp and quinoa all jump to mind. I'm also really liking the Garden of Life Raw Protein powder.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, my favorite source is this blog and all the comments. I have learned so much here about how to get protein from sources I would have never known about. My husband & I just took the plunge and went vegan/raw about a month ago and the knowledge here is endless.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing all your nutrition insights Kristen, seriously you make it sound so easy and it actually is!!
Such a tough question! I'm gonna have to go with tofu (with tempeh in a close second, and seitan right behind that). I know they're all cooked, so I'll pick a raw protein fave too — I love nuts!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, my husband would love these! He is currently in Iraq and the only protein supplement available to him is *shudders* whey with a bunch of chemicals. Anyway...
ReplyDeleteAt the moment, I haven't really explored many vegan protein supplements, so I've just been eating as many natural sources as I can. I would like to find a good one though, because I like to have a protein shake after my weight lifting sessions. The only one I've tried so far is from Vega, and that's not so tasty.
Mine are greens and nuts/seeds.
ReplyDeleteMy typical sources of protein would have to be raw seeds/nuts and brown rice/hemp protein powders. For non-raw, it'd be tempeh, tofu and garbanzo beans. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI love kale, black beans, and hemp seed milk!
ReplyDeleteHemp- consistent and classic :)
ReplyDeleteI love pretty much all vegan protein sources, but I would say my current favorite is almond butter!
ReplyDeletemy favorite sources of protein are hemp protein! in addition to greens which have a lot of protein too.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite protein sources are beans of all sorts, and hemp protein powder!
ReplyDeleteI really like hempseeds for protein, and lately I've been having chia seed pudding (AMAZING!)
ReplyDeleteAnd, of course, greens.
Thanks for such an awesome giveaway!
I love love love hemp seeds! I actually decided to try them out as a result of reading your blog kristen, so thank you! I also love my chia seeds....and of course, my greens : ) SO siked that your protein grenades are such a hit that they've been picked up!
ReplyDeleteGreens, raw nuts, raw almond butter!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite proteins are beans (garbanzo, pinto and black), kale and almond butter.
ReplyDeleteMy fav's are hemp & chia seeds, almonds, greens, tahini (sesame seeds)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the grenade idea....my husband is ready to try them
My favorite vegan protein sources are hemp and quinoa. Those are supposed to be closest to a "complete" protein....
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new product. Your protein grenades are genius!
Almond butter drizzled with agave (raw or not) nomnomnom! Fave salty protein is hummus (chickpeas rule!).
ReplyDeleteMy fav protein source would have to be tofu or quinoa. Yum!
ReplyDeleteI'm still rather new to figuring what proteins work best for me, but I tend to drift towards nuts and seeds...these protein grenades sound perfect!
ReplyDeleteby far... HEMP!!!!
ReplyDelete- Lauren M.

QUESTION: What are your favorite sources for vegan (i.e., plant-based) protein (raw or not)?
ReplyDeleteI love nuts (mostly cashews & almonds) because they're sooo tasty, and beans and lentils because they are nice and filling. :)
Cashews in any form. I love Cashews.
ReplyDeleteI love beans, especially adzuki beans, and quinoa. I also find that teff and amaranth have a surprising amount of protein as well. With regard to protein powder, I recently came across Nitrofusion and PlantFusion. Both taste great and are allergy-free!
ReplyDeleteThanks for listening! :)

I love to use almond butter and hemp protein to get my protein =)
ReplyDeletezatalie@gmail.com
i love getting my protein from the greens i put in my green smoothie, the tahini i use to make my tahini salad dressing, and vegan soups made with beans, lentils and split peas!
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI'd have to say my favorite is Manitoba Harvest's hemp protein. The higher protein one. It smells gross, but it blends into things very well and the taste isn't noticeable. I make salad dressings with it!
Oh! I meant to tell you. I always felt awful that your awesome comments got cut from my raw article. Well, this summer, I'm interning for the Houston Chronicle, features section. We need to have a list of story ideas. Well, I think you can guess what's at the top of my list!
Beans beans and more beans. My son likes to tease "please mom NO MORE BEANS!!!"
ReplyDeleteHemp protein is definitely my favorite!
ReplyDeleteI tweeted: " @KristensRaw 21st Awesome Giveaway - FREE VEGAN PROTEIN GRENADES! http://shar.es/mfiUp <--What's your fave source of vegan protein? " @moneyfunk!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite source of vegan protein comes from my banana-oatmeal-cinnamon-peanut butter-nut milk smoothie. YUM!
ReplyDeleteAnd baked tofu or my homemade trail mix. Yum, again.
Like many others, my favorite protein source would be hemp (I like it best in seed or butter form, but I'm getting used to the powder form).
ReplyDeleteI also recently tried out brazil nut protein powder, and have so far been pleasantly surprised.
Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
-Teresa
Hemp protein -- I've really learned to love the flavor! :) I like mixing it with coconut milk and stevia to make a pudding.
ReplyDeleteFavorite protein sources: hummus, mujaddra (rice and lentils), nut butters, green smoothies with protein powder, chickpea brownies. The list goes on, but I was aiming to be selective! :)
ReplyDeleteChick peas are my favorite, but I am a big fan of any kind of bean.
ReplyDeleteI love chickpeas and I can't live without peanut butter!
ReplyDeleteBeans

Sunwarrior Chocolate Brown Rice Protein!!! YUMM!! I can do amazing things as a result! ANyone for a twenty-mile run today? :-)
ReplyDeleteblack beans black beans black beans. I love putting them in quesadillas!! or anything for that matter:)
ReplyDeleteHempseed for sure! I put it in green (and other) smoothies for my family, sprinkle in it salads, use in it raw granola, etc!!! The fact that it contains copious amounts of omega 3s (and 6s) can't be beat! I just want to add that my husband and I went practically vegan about 3.5 years ago. He often reminisces about when he used to be buff (and now he's just skinny!). When I saw your post on the protein grenades, I showed it to him and told him if he would be diligent about working out, I now could help him with getting enough protein to build muscle. So, if I win the protein grenades, you might just give me my once-really-buff husband back!!! Thanks!! You're awesome!
ReplyDeleteChickpeas and seitan without a doubt.
ReplyDeletequinoa - hands down. it's so versatile that some days i find myself eating it at breakfast, lunch and dinner
ReplyDeleteI love almond butter, raw almonds, quinoa and hemp.
ReplyDelete1. Spirulina!
ReplyDelete2. Klamath Crystals!!
3. Hemp Seed
4. Quinoa, mm so grain-like.

I love beans and quinoa
ReplyDeleteI love Beans, sprouts, Manitoba Hemp Protein and Vega Whole Food Health Optimizer.
ReplyDeleteKale, Kale, Kale!!! After reading Victoria Boutenko's book I realized just how protein-packed our favorite food really is. Now we use it in everything, including a daily smoothy and juice.
ReplyDeletefacebooked!
ReplyDeleteleafy greens and avocadoes!
ReplyDeleteBeans, quinoa, and soy! Yum!
ReplyDeleteI avocados, leafy greens, and quiona...mmmmm, mmmm...oh, and Nutiva hemp shakes!
ReplyDeleteI think my favorites are spinach and the ever-versatile almond butter. I can put it on EVERYTHING! :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite veg protein is lentils-- love 'em. I get super happy in the fall when the days get cool and crispy. That's the perfect lentil soup weather.
ReplyDeleteBlack beans and cashew butter (not together, of course!! Haha) - I could never quite get accustomed to the taste of almond butter, but I wanted a switch from peanut butter and found cashew butter instead. Mmmmmmm!
ReplyDeleteM
ReplyDeleteWe eat a LOT of sprouts, kale and raw nuts. For an extra protein boost I love sunwarrior chocolate. yum. We sometimes use Naturade Soy-Free Fitness & Energy Vegetable Protein Powder as well.
Quinoa is my number one but Almond Butter comes a close second. :)
ReplyDelete(Great give away!)
I also facebooked a link. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a toss-up for me..I love the quinoa but I also love hemp seeds/hemp protein.
ReplyDeletei absolutely LOVE spirulina as a source of protein because very little of it is needed due to its high assimilation rate! I love me some high-quality spirulina. I'd love to win a vegan protein bomb! :)
ReplyDeleteNuts - especially cashews! Quick and easy, and many can even be creamed into NOMy sauces.
ReplyDeleteRaw, I'd have to say almonds and Sun Warrior powder. Cooked would be black beans and quinoa (sp?). But mostly, I'm all about the leafy greens, like spinach...
