Hey Reader, Looking to increase the amount of protein in your meals? This email is for you then! In the 8 years we've been vegan, we've honestly never worried about protein. Non-vegans seem overly concerned with our protein intake, but even in a calorie deficit Liz can get plenty of protein. However, we have been hitting the gym pretty hard lately, looking to build muscle so we're increasing our protein by just a bit to get those gains! So if you're looking to increase the protein a bit, check out these delicious recipes. Vegan High Protein RecipesTender, flavorful, and protein-packed, this Vegan Steak is easy to make and absolutely delicious and has over 50 grams of protein per serving (if that's too much, you can easily divide this recipe into more servings for different macros)! This recipe comes together in just over 30 minutes and only requires a few ingredients and some spices to make a super juicy and simple seitan steak. One pan and only three ingredients make this incredible Vegan Chicken Teriyaki that’s the perfect dish on your table in 20 minutes or less and has 20 grams of protein per serving. Use homemade or store-bought teriyaki sauce—this truly luscious and delicious meal might become your new go-to. Protein Hot Chocolate will be your favorite new way to get gains in Winter.
