My Favorite VEGAN PROTEIN SOURCES

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

What’s your favorite vegan protein source?

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

That’s amazing! I love it too💕

[@angieperdios9224]

Blessed Protein! Tofurky chicken cubes..delicious

[@idakwiatkowska2862]

Meat, chick peas and beans. I dont eat it every day, I like to sweach 😎

[@barbarasodek7396]

Tofu hands down!! 😋

[@sandramunevar7328]

Natalie Matthews love tofu!!

[@jessicaweinstock6912]

Just wanted to say, as a long time vegan who has started body building 6 months ago after losing 115lbs, your channel is my FAVE

[@Brians_World81]

This channel is super underrated. What I like is the fact Natalie talks about the TASTE as well as the health of the food. The food has to taste good in order for us to stay eating it.

[@truvelocity]

Edamame is a subspecies of the soy bean for tofu. Even though its in the same genus, its not exactly the same as you can’t make tofu out of edamame. But, you’re basically right about the protein content with Edamame versus the soy beans used for tofu.

[@chelseacross4893]

I'm not vegan or vegetarian but so many of these are things everyone can love! Nutritional yeast is honestly a game changer and so underutlilized. So good! Great for those who can't have dairy but love that cheesy flavour. Peanut flour is another goodie! For baking and giving things like oats and such extra peanutty flavour.

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

Agree! Both amazing products

[@jhanemcguirk6943]

Tofu, lentils and beans are my daily staples. I love nutritional yeast-I could sprinkle it on everything!!! Great info Natalie! Thanks ♥️

[@yourbookladykatie]

I try to always have Lightlife Mexican crumbles in my fridge because they are perfect to whip up a quick burrito or taco. I top it with nutritional yeast and taco sauce and usually put it with fat-free refried beans. I found some delicious refried black beans that I’m in love with currently. I’ve also put the crumbles on top of Explore black bean spaghetti with nutritional yeast and taco sauce. YUM.

[@savannahforton5632]

Omg I have been having shoulder problems. Thank you for posting your mobility session! I had never rolled my back out that way and that felt amazing!!

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

Glad it was helpful!

[@AlbertsenNina]

My favorite vegan protein sources are soy in general. Edamame beans in salad, tofu, seitan, hemp seeds, falafel and lentil/bean pasta 😍 can’t wait for your video on how to make the homemade seitan 🥰 you forgot to mention chia and pumpkin seeds 😋

[@calisongbird]

It’s very important to buy USDA Organic versions of tofu, edamame, soy noodles, tempeh, soy sauce, and any other soy product if you want to avoid GMOs. Same with corn. Something like 90% of conventional, non-organic soy and corn crops are GMO.

[@thec313]

Yes but how do you know? Glyphosphates are on everything 🤢

[@calisongbird]

@@thec313 “glyphosate” Buy organic wherever possible. Organic crops are not allowed to be treated with glyphosate, so any presence of the chemical is incidental and likely to be much lower than in crops treated intentionally. Buying non-GMO does not guarantee that the crops haven’t been treated pre-harvest with glyphosate. By buying organic, you reduce the likelihood of glyphosate contamination and you also support decreased use of these agricultural chemicals overall. This helps lower the general risk of contamination of the food supply. Think of it like vaccines and herd immunity, if you will.

[@Whatevertheheck]

Omg this lamp in the background is so freaking cute!!

[@Sh33naW0lf3]

Thank you ! You always find the best vegan protein snacks and food items that are actually high in protein and low in extra gunk. I’m on my way now to get some of those longeve crumbles. I can imagine so many great uses for them and I love pea protein items!

[@mariamanumi]

Hi Nathalie! Thanks for your tips! Between all of those I would choose tofu and tempeh. I don t eat so much processed food or try too and tofu is the only one I like to include (because of its low carbs index). Actually I would love to see a video talking about beans and this kind of more "natural" proteins...Please =) and how to avoid them to bloat us so much...Well at least some of them =) Thank you, lots of love to you guys!

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

Thank you!

[@frqsterling9630]

Trader Joe's has a really good extra firm high protein tofu

[@InternationalSwim]

Great video! Thank you. I'm a bit lost with recent videos?

[@shannongarrett4894]

I eat tofu everyday and also cook mine in the airfryer. So easy and delish! Which airfryer do you like best? I've had mine for years and am wanting to get a new one. I feel a good investment since I use it every day. I have not yet tried the pea protein. Adding to my list of things to buy/try. Thanks girl! :D

[@shannonlockwood8684]

New to your station. Sounds interesting. However, i try to stay away from processed food (packaged food). Can you do a show on natural high protein sources? Im trying to build muscle, but have a hard time finding natural high protein sources. I started ka'chava for my shakes, which i love 💘.

[@dominiqueblagojevic9447]

If you cook your food it's processed. I would look at the ingredient list to see what the additives are. Non GMO organic tofu is fine.

[@PaulJoseph]

@@dominiqueblagojevic9447 Exactly. Go raw vegan!

[@farzanarahman6727]

Love nut yeast, edamame, hemp and flax seeds, peas and tempeh!! 🤤 surprised you didn’t include quinoa tho. It’s a staple for me

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

I love quinoa! There’s so many amazing sources. 💕

[@annalisahamlett1334]

[@louisewainwright8785]

Hey Natalie - are you coming to the UK anytime soon? It would be lovely to actually meet you! :-) x

[@FWAbySusanAlley]

Thank you for the video. I am abouy 75% plant based now and am trying to figure out how to compete again with an all plany based diet. Excited abouy experimenting with new food and recipes, however it is like starting all over again. Luckily, i love to cook😊

[@rowenaanderson3739]

Yay I'm glad you got a deal with longeive. I've been waiting for it coz it was obvious you wouldve said yes. Well done!

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

Thank you! I love them! I’ve been working with them since last year.

[@PecksandPawsHomestead]

This is a fantastic video! Thank you for all the info!

[@daisyellow22]

I just recently stumbled on your channel !! Such fun, and inspirational videos!!

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

WELCOME!!! I'm so glad you're here ;)

[@ritalewis7013]

I don't have one but your videos are good for losing weight

[@tweety1028801]

I've been looking for lupin beans for ever. I finally just ordered the brami.

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

Yay! I can’t wait for you to try them. So good!

[@TheCoExister]

If you have any local middle eastern/mediterranean specialty stores there are several Arab brands that sell yummy lupini beans.

[@thec313]

Same and the process is a long one if you soak them

[@DH-uw3us]

I love tofu and seitan too. They are both so versatile. I also like beans and lentils.

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

I'm a bit lentil fan! I love to make curry soup.

[@traceym4590]

Eating a tofurky deli meat sandwich as I watch this :) Btw: Can't wait for new content! xoxo

[@daniellesmith00]

Hi Natalie, welcome back! :-) I was wondering if you would be willing to share who your Coach is?

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

Paul Revelia he does my macro adjustments during prep and building phases.

[@daniellesmith00]

Thank you so much xo

[@ricardolucas9882]

Boa tarde, seus videos são realmente fantasticos, é por isso que todos eles merecem bastante likes😘👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@NCallurs]

Everything can cause problems just depends on the person? Soy/tofu causes hormone issues or acne? Beans can cause inflammation? I guess pea products is best? But they are much more expensive 😬 could I just eat peas alone ahah is that considered a legume too?

[@MorrisB3]

She's back! Nat break was so long I was like well she retired. Ha jk. Glad to see you refreshed.

[@Vindicator73]

Ahh , now this is the life. Seeing Natalie back to her flexing 💪 ways. 😎 ... Thanks for the insight here. So with those vegan sausages , what type of dishes would you use them most often with ?? … Seems they would be great in pasta , soup , and casserole type meals especially. Oh and nice tosses from George by the way. 👍😊

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

Thank you! I like to chop them up and add them to veggie stir-fry. They are great on pasta dishes and soups

[@Nellie7777777]

Hi, i want to try liv body. I see iron listed on alot of protein powders. Is this naturally occurring with the peas or is added isolated iron?

[@taryndalton8312]

I love your lupini bean seitan recipe!

[@laurawinger4339]

Whew! That was a long break. 😊 Glad you're back! Love this video...now I have a lot of tasty new things to try. Off-topic question: is that a fitness tracker you're wearing? Is it one you'd recommend? Been thinking of getting something to track my steps/shame myself into actually getting in some steps(!). But they're are so many I get overwhelmed. Also, if you're taking suggestions for videos, I'd love to hear how you like to use different plant milks. Great video and great to see you again. Happy new year!

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

Thank you! The watch is from garmin I got it on amazon. It’s a nice small fit watch. I only had it for 2 months, so far I love it. www.amazon.com/dp/B07GMCBQD1/?ref=exp_influencer-814085a4_dp_vv_mw

Do you provide meal plans?

[@NinaCarroll]

I wish so bad I could eat Tofu and Edamame but I am allergic to Soy. I'm trying to get my body ready for Prep but figuring out what I can consume without Seitan, Tempeh, Tofu, Edamame is really hard. Any advice or tips for someone who is more RAW vegan...I try very much not to eat anything processed.. Help :)

[@laurenelizabeth2592]

How do I find a trainer? I have never done weight lifting training with a professional. I am vegan as well, so I would want a trainer who is open to that. How do I get started and where should I look for a good trainer?

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

Mate everything was from a packet. You could reword the video to where I get my additives from

[@divinedigitalpro]

I tried the Daniel fast for religious reasons and was surprised that I felt great without eating meat. After the 30 days I went back to eating meat. I had so much gas🤦‍♀️

[@MelissaCanadianfruity]

I'll have to try and remake your lupini bean loaf! I think I used way too much soy sauce cause it was saltier than the ocean 🤪

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

Oh no...skip the soy sauce then.

[@applesandoranges8079]

If I were stranded on a desert island, all I need is tofu!!!
