What 100 grams of protein looks like for vegans

What you see isn't totally what you get with the amount of protein here:

  • 1 ounce of nuts (5 grams)
  • ½ cup of rolled oats (5 grams)
  • A protein granola bar (8 grams)
  • Two slices of rye bread (10 grams)
  • ¼ cup of protein granola (10 grams)
  • One tablespoon of hemp seeds (4 grams)
  • Two tablespoons of chia seeds (10 grams)
  • Two tablespoons of peanut butter (7 grams)
  • One scoop of plant-based protein powder (20 grams)

This amounts to 79 grams of protein. If we double up on the mixed nuts, chia seeds and hemp seeds, this brings us to 93 grams of protein. You could add an extra tablespoon of peanut butter or eat a full cup of oats, instead of half a cup, to come closer to 100 grams. 

This plate also excludes high-protein vegan meat substitutes, such as tofu, tempeh or plant-based meats like the Impossible Burger. Those food sources can make it easier to get 100 grams of protein for someone who eats a vegan diet.
