Tips for Staying Full on a Vegan Diet
1. Prioritize Plant-Based Proteins
Proteins are key to staying satiated. Include options like:
- Lentils, chickpeas, and black beans.
- Tempeh, tofu, and edamame.
- Quinoa and farro for a protein boost in grains.
Pro Tip: Use Guesthouse Pantry’s Chimichurri to marinate tofu or drizzle over roasted chickpeas for an extra burst of flavor.
2. Focus on Fiber-Rich Foods
Fiber slows digestion, helping you feel full longer. Fill your plate with:
- Whole grains like brown rice, oats, and barley.
- Vegetables like sweet potatoes, broccoli, and spinach.
- Fruits like apples, pears, and berries.
Pair these with our vegetable stock to create hearty soups and stews that warm and satisfy.
3. Don’t Skip Healthy Fats
Fats are crucial for satiety and nutrient absorption. Include:
- Avocados, nuts, and seeds.
- Nut butters and tahini.
- Coconut milk or olive oil.
Guesthouse Pantry’s Green Goddess Dressing is a perfect pairing for nut-based snacks or drizzled over avocado toast.
4. Incorporate Iron and B12 Sources
Plant-based eaters need to pay special attention to iron and B12. Add to your diet:
- Iron: Spinach, lentils, pumpkin seeds, and fortified cereals.
