Quinoa: One of the best sources of vegetable protein

Quinoa is an absolute nutritional powerhouse in this one-pot recipe for sweet potatoes, kale, and quinoa pans. It’s one of our favorite sources for vegetable protein because it’s easy to cook, tastes great, and has eight grams of protein and five grams of fiber per cup.

While quinoa comes from a grain, it is gluten-free because we are actually eating the seeds of the quinoa plant. It is a suitable substitute for cereal grains such as barley or rice and, due to its high protein content, is perfect for vegetarian meals. It’s also a complete protein, so it contains all of the amino acids your body needs (just like meat).

Plus, this sweet potato, kale, and quinoa stew pan contains cannellini beans, another fantastic source of plant-based protein. Each cup of cannellini beans contains 16 grams of protein and 10 grams of fiber. It also contains iron and potassium, as well as a little calcium and vitamin K. However, be sure to choose a low-sodium can. Otherwise, you could be bringing a lot of excess sodium into this bowl.

Superfood sweet potatoes and kale

We wouldn’t be sure if we weren’t talking about the superfood status of sweet potatoes and kale. Sweet potatoes are full of vitamin A and beta-carotene, a powerful antioxidant that is beneficial for eye health and boosts the immune system. Meanwhile, kale is one of the most nutritious vegetables you can consume. It is an excellent source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. As a bonus, the high fiber content also helps you stay full longer!

If you don’t want to use all of the plant-based ingredients, put a fried egg on top of the leftovers and serve for breakfast the next morning.

Whip one Cauliflower steak with a herb crust or a Mushroom lentil bread as a vegetarian main course and serve this delicious stir-fry on the side. Of course, if you’re the only one following a plant-based diet, you can make this recipe as a side dish for the meat-eaters in the family and enjoy it as a main meal.
