One of the top sources of plant-based protein is tofu. A food that can be added to almost any dish, tofu takes on the flavor of whatever you’re cooking it with! “But tofu and plant-protein sucks! It’s Not As Good As Animal Protein!” Wrong! Tofu is all a ‘complete protein.” Meaning it contains an abundance of all 9 essential amino acids! Turns out plant-protein is a fantastic source to meet ones daily needs. And it

I eat tofu almost every day… Why? Because tofu is a fantastic source of plant-based protein! “But doesn’t tofu and soy lower testosterone?” “I heard it causes man boobs!” “There’s too many soy boys turning into women!” Critics of soy are all around us, demonizing the food. For a while now, anti-soy proponents have created a media frenzy of fear. They’ve ruined soy’s name. Just google ‘Is soy bad for you?’ and you’ll get millions

Protein… protein… protein! It’s no secret that protein is vital for muscle growth. And if you want those lean muscle gains, you’ll need around 1.2-1.6g of protein/kg of body weight. That’s a lot more protein than what most healthy individuals need to consume (around .8g of protein/kg of bodyweight.) Most omnivores consume animal-based foods as their main sources of protein, like chicken, turkey, beef, and pork. But if you’re vegan or even vegetarian, those options

Nowadays, everyone loves talking about their post-workout shake, the protein powder they’re using, and how many gallons of protein they’re downing every day. And don’t get me wrong, post-workout recovery is essential for making some serious gains. But why isn’t there as much stress on pre-workout meals?

If you’re goal is to gain as much strength as possible on a vegan diet, you’ve found the right place. Unlike most stereotypes and myths which say it’s impossible, you can (and will) build tremendous strength and muscle mass on a plant-based diet. Just take a look at strongman Patrik Baboumian.

Vegan bodybuilders have a much harder time putting on muscle, right? WRONG! That myth was busted a long time ago. Plant-based protein has been shown to build muscle just as well as animal protein. Just take a look at this study on pea protein powder vs whey protein powder.

Just 20 years ago, being vegan meant only eating a salad… But now it’s 2020. Technology and the earth are growing at such a rapid pace. And so is veganism. Plant-based companies are popping up and growing like sunflowers. Have you seen Beyond Meats stock price? It grew 500% in 2019, its debut year! Salad and grass aren’t the only things vegans can choose at restaurants. Now we have plant-based burgers, chicken, sausage, cheese, and
