The only problem with plant sources of protein, with the exception of soybeans and quinoa, is that they aren’t complete proteins because they don’t provide all the amino acids. You should eat food combinations which form complete proteins, such as:

Legumes + seeds

Legumes + nuts

Legumes + dairy

Grains + legumes

Grains + dairy

Chances are you already eat complete proteins without even trying. Here are some tasty and healthy complete protein combinations:

 Cashew stir-fry with quinoa

 Beans on toast

 Cereal/muesli with milk

 Corn and beans

 Granola with yoghurt

 Hummus and pitta bread

 Nut butter with milk or wholegrain bread

 Three-bean chilli with cheese

 Rice and beans, peas or lentils

 Rice with milk (rice pudding)

 Split pea soup with wholegrain or seeded crackers or bread

 Tortillas with refried beans

 Veggie burgers with rice and peas

Make sure you guard against any nutrient deficiencies with fortified cereals, or have Marmite or Vegemite to get vitamin B₁₂. Try to eat a large portion of green leafy vegetables each day, and half a pint of skimmed or soy milk to ensure your calcium intake. Dried fruits, pulses, green veggies, dark chocolate and whole grains are good sources of iron, and choose butter fortified with vitamins D and E.
