Protein helps build the muscles that keep us strong, active, and healthy, so it’s important to make sure you are getting enough every day. Meat is typically a good source of protein, but for vegetarians, or anyone who doesn’t like to eat a lot of meat, getting the proper amount of plant-based proteins is important. Most of these plant-based proteins are delicious as the main ingredient in a dish or as an easy, tasty side dish with a little burst of protein.</span></span></div> <b id="docs-internal-guid-40e75a48-763c-0cfe-59b3-bff7e41ecfe8" style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">6 Amazing Plant-based Proteins</span></span></div> <b style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b> <br /> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Lentils</span></span></div> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Large amounts of protein and fiber can be found in lentils, so they help keep you energized and satisfied.
