Proteins are the building blocks of life. We all need protein in our diet for proper growth and development. Here is the list of varieties of options available as protein sources especially for vegans.

The protein requirement of a body depends largely on age, gender, pregnancy factor, and activity level. But on an average healthy active adult RDA for protein is calculated using the ratio of 1 gram of protein for every 1 kilogram of a person's body weight. For eg - if your body weight is 60 kilos, you need to have 60 grams of protein every day.

One of the main concerns vegans have is how to get their protein with only vegetarian food since they are not consuming traditional sources of protein. A complete protein source should contain all essential amino acids for a healthy diet. A complete balanced diet can also fulfill one’s protein requirement. Here are some of the best vegan protein foods

1. 1 cup cooked chickpeas contain 14.5 grams of protein

2. 1 cup cooked lentils contain 17.2 grams of protein

3. 1 cup black beans (kidney) contains 8.9 grams of protein
