The Power of Plants

Best Vegan Protein Sources for Strength & Recovery

You don’t need meat to build muscle—you need a plan. At No Feelings Wellness, we don’t follow hype—we follow discipline. And when it comes to protein, plant-based athletes and fitness lovers have more powerful options than ever

Don’t guess. Aim for around 0.7–1.0g of protein per pound of body weight if you’re active. Track it. Hit it.

Go-To Vegan Protein Powerhouses:

Lentils – 18g per cup cooked
Tempeh – 20g per 3.5 oz
Seitan – 25g per 3 oz
Quinoa – 8g per cup cooked
Tofu – 10g per 1/2 cup
Hemp seeds – 10g per 3 tbsp
Plant-based protein powders – 20–30g per scoop (read the label)

Combine Smart for Amino Acid Balance
Pairing legumes with grains or seeds ensures a complete amino acid profile.

Sample Daily Plan (for 150g/day target):

Breakfast: Tofu scramble + toast + chia smoothie

Lunch: Lentil-quinoa bowl + roasted veggies

Snack: Hemp protein shake + almonds

Dinner: Tempeh stir fry + brown rice

Snack: Edamame or pumpkin seeds

Discipline is the key. Track it, prep it, repeat it. Vegan or not, your results are earned—one bite at a time.
