High protein vegan meals are so satiating and make me feel full for longer. It makes a world of difference for weight lifting. These recipes look delicious!

[@JessMurfin]

PLEASE PLEASE do more of these Maddie....I am desperately trying to increase my protein too and this was so helpful! Thank you, I'm glad the changes is having so many positive effect for you

[@thecozycosm]

Love this video! I think what you said “your body knows best” is totally in line with what you said. Your body was telling you that it wasn’t getting what it needed and that’s why you kept feeling hungry. Love seeing these ideas :)

[@melaniemurphyofficial]

Need this so bad right now! Such a wholesome, informative video! 🥰

[@BeeGorse]

As a vegan with PCOS, I've also been trying to make dietary changes to help with hormonal shifts and other side effects, so I would def be interested in how this works for you

[@MadeleineOlivia]

That’s so interesting! I am really looking forward to finding out if the higher protein manages my hormones better

[@BeeGorse]

@@MadeleineOlivia PCOS can also give some IBS flare ups with it, so some of my issues are probably similar too

[@glynnL]

Yikes! good luck with your dietary changes with such restrictions. Having to manage vegan, low carb, and high protein is a juggling act for sure. Got any favourite go to recipes? I have found that kombucha really helped with IBS and irritated/slow digestion. Similar to probiotic, I don’t know of scientific proof either for or against, but even 75ml to 150ml a day made such a difference for me.

[@BeeGorse]

@@glynnL personally, I've found that increasing protein, and having very little sugar, is much more helpful to me than being strict about carbs. Plus I really enjoy them, and enjoying life and food is very important to me too

[@glynnL]

@@BeeGorse all my favourite carbs are high sugar, or at least high glycemic index. Such a pain that so many quick to prepare and cheap foods give so much digestive grief and they are exactly what I want about once a month.

[@VerhoevenSimon]

Thank you for the cozy video filled with a lot of useful information

[@jennyjohnson9012]

Really enjoyed this Madeleine. Very interested in the Symprove as I've been suffering from digestive issues recently. Upset tummy and bloating. I think I'll try this. Thanks for all the lovely recipes again. Have a wonderful time in Provence!

[@allisonmae3445]

Your videos always inspire me to make healthy meals when I've been falling off a bit. Thank you so much for sharing!!

[@hayley4978]

I love these high protein meal and snack ideas. As a vegan I get in a bit of a rut and I struggle to make high protein meals and snacks. Thanks for sharing and I would love to see more of these videos. Enjoy your holiday. ☺️❤️

[@sirJenr]

Love this video and style! I like the laid back nature and find it helps me mentally deal with thoughts around food. I suffer a lot from decision fatigue when it comes to food and struggle to have two meals a day. Definitely been thinking more actively about upping my protein and experimenting with my diet so this is really insightful.

[@luisafernandasalcedorojas9720]

I love the video is very nice and inspiring for shop in supermarkets . Thanks for your content and recipes

[@julietyler8864]

This video was amazing, so so helpful. I also struggle if I eat to many of the meat alternatives frequently, so I've now ordered the protein chunks, look forward to trying those. Great food ideas, brilliant inspo thanks Maddie xx

[@rnmatsuda]

Yes, please do more of these. I am not eating high protein necessarily but I enjoyed the recipes a lot - so much ideas and inspiration. Thank you!

[@Greeningermany]

I have many of the same issues including PCOS. I also need that quick high-protein snack. I purchased a six pack of those fast protein shakes and when I finished them, I washed the bottles well, made my own protein shake/smoothie on a batch-cook Sunday and re-filled the bottles. I would keep them about 4/5 full and then freeze them. I would always make sure to have one in the fridge, so one out of the fridge, then one out of the freezer and into the fridge. It made a huge difference as I could control the ingredients, use fruits and veg that I had on hand and save money!! You can also control the sugar that is sometimes high in those shakes, I found that really helped, especially with my PCOS and hormones. I am so glad that you are noticing such positive results, I know i have. Cheers!! Oh, also green peas are incredibly high in protein, I think as much as meat per gram. I recommend a a curry with potatoes, cauliflower and loads of green peas, very filling.

[@thealiceftw]

A good rule of thumb is to think at least 0.8 g protein/kilogram bodyweight. If you exercise you can up it to 1.2 g/kilogram bodyweight (or 0-36-0.45 g/pound bodyweight). Too much protein can be hard on the kidneys xx But I love this concept! Have you stopped eating "whole foods plantbased"?

[@gabyintothewild]

Thanks for these delicious ideas Madeleine! 💛

[@edus82]

I love those protein crisps! And the pea and fave bean chunks!

[@shevegan4302]

Yes! I needed this video.

[@marlenesophie4729]

It is better to sprinkle the black salt on top when you are about to eat because when it’s cooked it loses most of its taste :) and so you won’t need that much salt

[@kellyreadingbooks]

Needed this video!!

[@swilson6170]

I loved this thank you, more please!! ❤️

[@davidthescottishvegan]

Excellent video Madeleine and yummy 😋 recipes. I haven't checked my daily protein levels but know I will be hungry if I don't get enough protein in so if I am hungry I just eat something that contains protein and the hunger will disappear. Love 🥰 the video and love 💕❤️ Madeleine & Alex.

[@marendajudkins1262]

I love all your food videos actually all your videos!

[@sonjaannerenatebrandkamp9871]

i loved it! please more of it :)

[@hannahc4641]

This was super helpful, thank you! I’m just starting to try and eat more protein and I’m finding it’s making such a big difference to how satisfied I feel after meals. I struggle a bit because it’s so expensive, I know beans as a main source of protein aren’t great but tofu, tempeh and protein powders are so much more expensive and beans are really cheap. I’d love to see a budget high protein meals video, I loved your week of budget meals videos you did a while back and I’d love to see a high protein version, would be super helpful for me as a student.

[@fraserreal8496]

Your kitchen is lovely.

[@SharpPear]

So excited to watch this. Trying to go vegan, having hard time as I only have a few meals I know how to prepare. Definitely need protein, struggling with reactivated Epstein bar. I watch your vlogs in the evening before bed. You help my anxiety ten fold! Thank you so much for this! Safe travels as you journey to France💗

[@KristenHalliburton]

I like!! Please make more🥰🥰 thank you so much

[@janebradfield2373]

Love the meals, and I’ve never seen white feathery mushrooms like those. They look fabulous.

[@TamaraK93]

Just what I needed!

[@sarahhoward4590]

love you and this video! thank you.

[@rachelholcroft3517]

When I’ve used black salt before I’ve found that if you add it right at the end it keeps the eggy flavour better and you only need to add a little then so it’s not too salty

[@holliebrett8756]

Great vid!

[@melissamorello1700]

Love this style of video, especially high protein 👍🏼

[@meeomelovescookiesandhisto459]

This was the perfect video for me, I've been thinking about increasing my protein intake too. Since I have adhd I benefit from a high-protein breakfast and lots of protein in general, and I need quick and easy meals so this was just so fitting for me. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the Huel shakes since I haaated their instant meal things taste-wise but would love to try their protein shakes. If you ever try out protein bars I'd love to hear which ones you like, I'm on the hunt for good, preferably vegan ones, too!

[@johannam7437]

totally feel you with what you said about the packaging and ready-to-drink protein shakes and what I found for me is keeping the bottles and just re-fill them with selfmade shake (so you only have to prepare one once and just fill some bottles to keep at hand in the fridge). Same feeling and convenience and at least for me it works 🤷‍♀️

[@jessdrummond8649]

Loving your videos lovely ❤️ xxxxxx

[@irismeeow]

once again, really enjoyed the music in this video :)

[@cecileherramhof2261]

Triangle is a nice shape 😉 hello from France and thanks for all your video!

[@bbyulalala]

Loved this video! If you’d like to add protein powder into your porridge without it tasting nasty, you can modify porridge into baked porridge (blended oats, milk, protein powder, yogurt plus any add ons - I like choc chips and peanut butter). You can’t taste the protein powder this way! 🤍

[@ParticularlyChar]

Such a great video, thank you. I find probiotics so helpful when my tummy isn’t happy with me, I’m sure they work 😊

[@konradkowalski1390]

I've been trying to eat more protein and veggies lately so I found this very helpful :). I'd love to see some recipes that don't rely on soy, though (I'm not against soy, I'd just like some more variety!). Have a great day!

[@MadeleineOlivia]

Think I will do a soy free version next time!

[@hannahmcguigan5735]

Yeah soy doesn't agree with me so I'd love to see some more no soy recipes

[@niamhharikasen7848]

same! my skin has been the worst and i gained a few pounds so i recently made eating healthier my priority!

[@iwasbornaunicorn]

Loved this video! I try to avoid the fake meats and only eat them as a treat every once in awhile because I don't do well with them either. This gave me some inspiration and some insight into how much protein is actually in the things that I eat

[@hollywood7702]

Thank you for this!

[@numivis7807]

Thank you this is very helpful x

[@HannahIrene719]

For reference: The RDA for protein is 0.8g/1kg body weight for a sedentary-moderately active person. This would be about 65 grams for a 180lb (80.4kg) person. If you regularly do intense strength training, the recommendation increases to at least 1.2g/kg bodyweight. This would be about 96g for a 180lb person. Or, 10-25% of your diet should be protein. Which, on a 2000 calorie diet, would be 50-125g. Closer to 10% for sedentary/smaller build. Closer to 25% for active/larger build. Just for any curious person. Obviously do what makes your body feel best.

[@NinskuuB]

Thanks for this reminder! 😊

[@janebradfield2373]

I can’t wait for Provence vlogs! Yayyy

[@lela2280]

I'm not vegan but 90% plant based and found that having enough protein plus not too much sweet stuff has really helped my mood in that it is more stable. And if I'm having mood swings (often PMS related) I still don't feel as vulnerable to them, if that makes sense. One word on the broccoli: It still is technically fine to eat if it has become a bit yellow but doesn't have brown, soft spots or mould. But it is past its prime taste wise, so I wouldn't use it for a stir fry but rather in soup or a casserole dish.

[@addamhewitt2406]

Tofu scramble, best meal ever. A little tip about your sun burn, use sudocream. It works so well, honestly. Keep applying for a couple of days, it will sort it right out.

[@sarahevans5651]

Addam - just FYI Sudocrem has lanolin in (so it’s not vegan) I know this because I’m allergic to lanolin (itchy, argh!)

[@addamhewitt2406]

@@sarahevans5651 didn't know that. Thankyou.

[@nicandtris]

Maddie, game changer with the black salt - if you add it at the end of cooking, it retains the eggy flavour - cooking it tends to makes it less sulphurous, so to keep the egginess you need more and the food can end up quite salty, but if you add it at the end you need less.

[@zetabetazeta]

Great video (as always), I am going to try the tofu scramble! How do you incorporate protein smoothies in your meal schedule? Which Huel product do you use, and how?

[@bredamcloughlin7432]

That top is loverly 😀

[@hannahbanana7119]

Loved this video, from a point of view from someone who studied nutrition!

[@Alondraajt]

Quick important side note: Anyone can call themselves a nutritionist. A dietitian is definitely the correct terminology when referring to a nutrition expert. Nutritionist do not go through the same extensive education as a registered dietitian nutritionist does. A way to remember it is, a dietitian is a nutritionist but a nutritionist is NOT a dietitian. So if anyone is looking to seek nutrition counseling, look for a credentialed RDN :)

[@vilea9218]

Hi, I just wanted to say that it's different in different countries. I study nutritional science at uni in Austria. :)

[@Alondraajt]

@@vilea9218 I figured it was different. I live in the US and have a degree in food and nutritional sciences. Thank you for bringing that up!

[@SharpPear]

I had no clue....thank you for the info!

[@radhikadhaipule3297]

As someone who has also started strength training and increasing their protein intake, I find this video very helpful. So, thank you! One question tho - where’s your robe from? I love the color and fluff!

[@laetitiaur]

Great video, very useful. Enjoy la Provence ❤️

[@fraserreal8496]

Don't forget the steel cut oats -- good source of plant protein. Happy you're feeling better.

[@animalsonhawdon8130]

*Tropical storm* in Cornwall. Heheh. But black salt is a new thing to me! Thanks for the tips.

[@isabelanywhere8200]

I loved this video, I do think maybe it would be interesting both for us and for you for variety in your diet to try some high protein recipes without tofu. Alternatively I’ve seen people make lentil tofu on TikTok, I wonder if that actually works?

[@MadeleineOlivia]

Yes I am already planning a high protein video without any soy!

[@ambertmparker4225]

loved this yes please i need more protein ideas for vegan meals

[@adeleboulter3366]

The Tofu Scramble looks amazing!!! Also I can’t stand protein powder in Porridge either. I look forward to my tribe Protein shake mid morning. You should give them a go. Tribe also do some amazing protein bars xxx

Thanks Maddie I probably should eat more protein. I loved what you said about porridge being sacred.❤

[@zenabraithwaite1934]

With your sunburn, lay a soft cold wet teatowel on your burn for a couple of hours it will ease the redness. Put aftersun on every day until you go away. Before you go away put some self tan on your back to blend the colour together.

[@glynnL]

Alex chirping about your pjs and he took all day to unload and load the dishwasher. 😄

[@vilea9218]

Hi, there is quite a lot of research regarding pro- and prebiotics. The term probiotics includes a lof of different kinds of microorganisms so it's important to know that the probiotics on the market are not the same. So while the intake of probiotics could have positive effects it's essential to know which MO work best for which health conditions! Your nutritionist/ dietician/ doctor should tell you which probiotic you should take and if you should take it long term. :)

[@KiraHelenRose]

I know you love peanut butter on your porridge. But definitely give almond butter on top a try some time. I love to put two big scoops of almond butter on top of my oats. It’s so satisfying!

[@questioneverythingtv]

Just starting my vegan journey. Very helpful video

[@devafrost17]

Love Alex in this one "she does this every day, she only dresses up for videos" 🤣🤣🤣

[@isabelherrera8647]

For me breakfast means something sweet!!! Porridge, toasts with jam, Danish pastry with a cup of tea, coffee ...☺️

[@ilo_ro]

Thanks for the profusion rec!!I don't know why, but I always feel quite sick after eating tofu/tempeh (maybe its a soy intolerance but I seem to have soy yoghurts and milks just fine) and my stomach just can't handle eating lots of beans everyday. I tend to eat meat/fish once or twice a week to make up my protein, so hopefully this can replace one of these!

[@zenabraithwaite1934]

I'm not vegan due to digestive issues mainly so I am pesctarian. Having tracked my diet for a month at a time with apps , the only days I meet my protein target are those when I added in fish. However I now always have some sort of protein for breakfast, soya yoghurt with oats, peanut butter or our local free range eggs, and I try to get enough in my other meals. I've actually just bought some Vegan amino acid tablet supplements to have because I struggle so much and tend to only eat fish once or twice a week as my partner is vegetarian.

[@hollywebster6844]

I really wish those Profusion chunks were available in the US! Maybe someday.

[@glennarichards2933]

[@Fiftynine414]

I love when you eat on camera. Your big beautiful eyes are so expressive. I’ve been eating your recipes for years.

[@sd.092]

Hi Maddie!👋😊

[@skyethebard]

Our household eats fish/seafood twice weekly and usually meat of some sort on Saturdays. We consider ourselves flexitarians. It is a bit of a struggle to get enough protein, yes. The kids eat peanut butter almost daily (by choice) but are only now starting to eat more beans. It IS helpful to see what you are eating!

[@sarahvda4787]

Struggeling with eating more proteins so this video came as a gift. 😊😊

[@roses7130]

I wonder what the washability and reusability of those protein drinks are? Would it be feasible, once you've drunk the MyVegan stuff inside, to pre-prepare your protein drinks, and put them back in that (washed) bottle for grab-and-go convenience? You'd probably have to be a bit more mindful of when it's prepared vs when it's drunk, as making it yourself would leave you more open to bacteria and cross-contamination, but possibly something to consider if the drinks work for you?

[@sportsbob]

you should look at the tesco plant chef beef strips/chicken pieces, a pack contains about 440cal and 60grams of protein. £1.75

[@lulaboola74]

Very interesting hearing you say eating too many meat subs upset your tummy. I also suffer from IBS and have often wondered the same thing but then I would eat a vegan burger another week and be fine 🤷 Makes sense it is a quantity/frequency issue. I definitely need to eat more protein (peri-menopausal!) So I really enjoyed this video 👍

[@alisondavies4889]

Madeline, I have a question nothing to do with the vlog, I’m coming to Cornwall in July and we are going to stay in st Ives for a week, can you suggest any good places to visit your ideas would be most appreciated, and I loved the vlog.😘❤️❤️❤️💞💞💞

More High Protein please thanks for sharing

[@robyn6454]

Your body knows best however we don’t always interpret the signals our body is sending us correctly! Like yes if you’re hungry you should eat, but if your chronically hungry and feeling sluggish then your body is probably communicating to you that you’re lacking something in your diet

[@lisaanderson7433]

Couldn’t agree more about oatmeal with protein powder- gross. Great video would love to see more of this as I am transitioning to vegan and have a considerable amount of weight to lose and don’t want to go down the path of a lot of processed unhealthy foods. Thanks!

[@SR-ql9he]

I can't really eat much soy but maybe I'll try some of these recipes and use something other like chickpeas.

[@paulina8864]

You can eat yellow broccoli. It just means it started to bloom because broccoli is basically hundreds of little flower buds. Broccoli flowers are edible :)

[@JeSSiMKah]

Totally agree with the protein powder in porridge 🤢 thought it was just me! Also I used to love huel but I've gone off it as I saw a post where people were finding plastic in it, not sure if it was just usa but I found it concerning.

[@emmierow1980]

I know it leaves you with fewer options but if you struggle with your hormones, you might want to reduce or eliminate soy from your diet. I’ve studied the impact of diet on oestrogen for 7 years and soy is at the top of ‘foods to avoid’ list, along with sugar. I’ve written a paper on it if you’re interested- sugar and soy are so detrimental to our hormone balance and so many women are suffering without realising why.

[@KWilliams22]

I'd love to read your paper...I hardly have soy because I've heard it's not good for hormones....but I've never properly researched it. Cutting back on sugar was life changing for me with pain and inflammation...its evil stuff!! I still can't knock it on the head completely though but I'm trying 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@Melissa.Garrett]

I’ve seen the idea of soy and hormones debunked so many times. I think Mic the Vegan probably has the best videos on the subject.

[@irismeeow]

If you have a meal with mash on the side, you can easily increase the protein content by blending silken tofu into the mash. Tried it today and didn't get any weird flavours from the tofu :)

[@MadeleineOlivia]

Wow this is a great hack!

[@JonesLeFae]

Maybe "meal prep" some protein shakes and put it in individual size jars?

[@franziskamayrhofer2281]

I don't know if what I'm about to say is entirely true, but gonna put it out there anyway: I've heard from different nutritionists, that having probiotics every day and not like for like just four weeks, can decrease your stomach's ability to produce it itself. But if there are any nutritionists here who think otherwise, please correct me.

[@ZitaBorgesmusic]

6:45 what mushrooms are those?

[@phillippinter7518]

Soba and wheat noodles are high in protein around 14-20% huge difference from rice noodles not that it matters
