- Quinoa. Protein: 8 grams per 1 cup serving, cooked. A food so healthy that NASA hopes we'll grow it on interplanetary space flights, quinoa looks a lot like couscous, but it's way more nutritious.
- Buckwheat. Protein: 6 grams per 1 cup serving, cooked. Buckwheat is, in fact, not a type of wheat at all, but a relative of rhubarb. While the Japanese have turned the plant into funky noodles called soba, most cultures eat the seeds by either grinding them into flour (making a great base for gluten-free pancakes!)
- Hempseed. Protein: 10 grams per 2 tablespoon serving. Chillax, bro, this hemp won't get anyone stoned. This relative of the popular narcotic contains significant amounts of all nine essential amino acids, as well as plenty of magnesium, zinc, iron, and calcium.
- Chia. Protein: 4 grams per 2 tablespoon serving. No longer used to grow fur on boring clay animals, chia seeds are the highest plant source of omega-3 fatty acids, and they contain more fiber than flax seeds or nuts.
- Soy. Protein: 10 grams per 1/2 cup serving (firm tofu); 15 grams per 1/2 cup serving (tempeh); 15 grams per 1/2 cup serving (natto) While beans are normally low in the amino acid methionine, soy is a complete protein and thoroughly deserves its status as the go-to substitute for the meat-free (but go easy on the processed varieties).
- Ezekiel Bread. Protein: 8 grams per 2 slice serving. "Take wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and spelt, put them in one vessel and make them into bread for yourself."
- Mycoprotein (Quorn) Protein: 13 grams per 1/2 cup serving. Originally developed to combat global food shortages, mycoprotein is sold under the name "Quorn" and is made by growing a certain kind of fungus in vats and turning it into meat substitutes that are packed with complete protein.
- Rice and Beans. Protein: 7 grams per 1 cup serving. One of the simplest, cheapest, and vegan-est meals in existence is also one of the best sources of protein around.
- Seitan. Protein: 21 grams per 1/3 cup serving. Wheat gluten gets demonized by a lot of people these days, but with the obvious exceptions of celiac-sufferers and the gluten intolerant, it's nothing to fear.
- Spirulina with Grains or Nuts. Protein: 4 grams per 1 tablespoon. Contrary to popular belief, this member of the algae family is not a complete protein, since it's lacking in methionine and cysteine.

- Quinoa. Quinoa is an ancient grain that looks similar to couscous but has a crunchy texture and nutty flavor. As it doesn’t grow from grasses like other cereals and grains, it’s technically considered a pseudocereal and naturally gluten-free (5).
- Tofu, tempeh, and edamame. Tofu, tempeh, and edamame are all made from soybeans and make for excellent plant-based protein sources (8). Tofu is made from coagulated soy milk that’s pressed into white blocks and comes in a variety of textures, including silken, firm, and extra-firm.
- Amaranth. Amaranth is another pseudocereal that’s a complete source of protein (5). Once considered a staple food in Incan, Mayan, and Aztec cultures, it has become a popular gluten-free grain alternative.
- Buckwheat. While it’s not as high in protein as quinoa or amaranth, buckwheat is another pseudocereal that’s a plant-based source of complete protein (5).
- Ezekiel bread. Ezekiel bread is made from sprouted whole grains and legumes, including barley, soybeans, wheat, lentils, millet, and spelt. Two slices (68 grams) of the bread contain 8 grams of protein (15).
- Spirulina. Spirulina is a type of blue-green algae that’s a popular supplement among those on vegan and vegetarian diets (19). While it can be purchased as tablets, the powdered form of spirulina can be easily added to smoothies, granola bars, soups, and salads for a boost of nutrition.
- Hemp seeds. Coming from the hemp plant Cannabis sativa, hemp seeds are members of the same species as marijuana, but they contain only trace amounts of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive component of marijuana (21).
- Chia seeds. Chia seeds are tiny round seeds that are often black or white. They’re unique in that they can absorb liquid and form a gel-like substance.
- Nutritional yeast. Nutritional yeast is a deactivated strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae that’s grown specifically to be a food product. Commercially, nutritional yeast is sold as a yellow powder or flakes and has a distinctive umami flavor that can be used to add a cheese-like flavor to vegan dishes, such as popcorn, pasta, or mashed potatoes.
- Rice and beans. Rice and beans are a classic pairing that’s a source of complete protein. Both brown and white rice are low in lysine but high in methionine.
