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!

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