Plant-based proteins are considered "incomplete" as they don't contain all essential amino acids, unlike protein from animal sources. It's necessary to look at which amino acids each product contains to make sure that you are getting enough.

Soy, soy products, and nuts are good protein sources for vegetarians and vegans. Tofu and other soy products have lots of health benefits and help our muscles recover after exercise. As for nuts, pistachios, peanuts and other nuts, they can make a healthy protein-packed snack. It is important to note that nuts are high-calorie foods, therefore use moderation. For example, 49 pistachios (or 30 grams) is an optimal serving. Another healthy option is green vegetables, such as spinach and kale. One cup of cooked spinach contains 7 grams of protein, and it is very low in calories. The combination of beans and rice is also a great protein source. Of course, this is not a complete list, as a great number of plant foods contain protein.
