About organic plant proteins Plant proteins are no longer the new kid on the block. Extensive studies have shown that it is just as effective as non-vegan protein sources for muscle recovery and growth.

Peas contain a surprising amount of protein, along with vitamins A, K, C, thiamine, folic acid, manganese, iron and phosphorus. They are also rich in polyphenol antioxidants. Low in calories and high in fibre, peas reduce appetite and promote feeling full - they are an excellent part of any weight management programme. But since we are interested in their protein, here is a quick comparison:

• 1 cup of peas = 8g protein
• ½ cup almonds = 6 g protein
• ¼ cup peanut butter = 7 g protein

Pumpkin is considered a superfood, rich in protein, vitamins A, C, B2, E, potassium, copper, manganese, iron and rich in beta-carotene. Like peas, it is also low in calories and high in fibre, offering the same health benefits for weight management. Pumpkin, Cucurbita pepo, is native to North America and has long been revered for its treatment of digestive problems. Chia seeds contain 14% of protein, by weight. These tiny seeds were important to Aztec and Mayan cultures - "chia" is the Mayan word for "strength". One ounce of chia seeds contains fibre, protein, omega-3 fatty acids, calcium, manganese, magnesium and phosphorus. Despite their small size, chia seeds are one of the most nutritious foods on earth. Brown rice is whole rice from which the inedible outer husk layer has been removed. The hull, bran and germ are retained. Besides high-quality protein, brown rice is rich in branched amino acids that are beneficial for repairing and building muscle fibres. Studies suggest that rice protein isolate can provide similar benefits to whey protein. Coconut milk is made from the pulp of ripe brown coconuts. It is grated and soaked in water to produce the rich, creamy "milk". High in calories from fats known as medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), these are used for ketone or energy production, not fat storage. Although coconut milk also contains protein, its real advantage is the solubility and texture it gives when blended into a drink or smoothie.
