Animal proteins are "complete" (containing all 9 essential amino acids), while most plant proteins are "incomplete." However, eating varied plant proteins throughout the day provides all essential amino acids. The protein combining myth has been debunked - you don't need to combine proteins in the same meal.

Quinoa, soy, and buckwheat are complete plant proteins. Very versatile!

Studies show that plant protein can build muscle just as effectively as animal protein when total intake is adequate.

Tempeh is my favorite - 31g protein per cup and it's a complete protein!
