The Story

Dear Readers, Are you or someone you know struggling with intolerances to certain protein sources? Whether it's dairy, gluten, eggs, or other common proteins, managing intolerances can present challenges, especially when trying to meet daily protein requirements. But fear not! In this edition of our newsletter, we're here to provide you with practical tips and alternative protein sources to ensure you're still getting the protein your body needs.

• Plant-Based Proteins: Plants are a rich source of protein and offer a wide variety of options for those with intolerances. Incorporate foods like beans, lentils, chickpeas, quinoa, tofu, tempeh, and edamame into your meals. These versatile ingredients can be used in salads, stir-fries, soups, and wraps, providing a hearty dose of protein along with essential nutrients.
• Grains and Pseudo-Grains: Gluten intolerance doesn't have to mean giving up grains entirely. Opt for gluten-free grains and pseudo-grains like amaranth and buckwheat. These grains are not only protein-rich but also packed with fiber and other nutrients. Use them as substitutes for wheat-based products in recipes like porridge, salads, and baked goods.

• Nuts and Seeds: For those without nut allergies, nuts and seeds are excellent protein and healthy fats sources. Incorporate almonds, walnuts, cashews, and pumpkin seeds into your diet for a satisfying crunch and a protein boost. Nut butters are another convenient option that can be spread on toast, mixed into smoothies, or used as a dip with fruits and vegetables.
• Non-Dairy Alternatives: If dairy is off-limits, there are plenty of non-dairy milk alternatives available that still provide protein without the lactose. Try soy milk, oat milk, or almond milk as substitutes for cow's milk in your morning cereal, coffee, or smoothies. These alternatives are often fortified with vitamins and minerals, making them a nutritious choice.

• Vegetables: While vegetables may not be as high in protein as other sources, many still contain significant amounts of this essential nutrient. Load up on protein-rich veggies like spinach, broccoli, peas, and Brussels sprouts to complement your meals. Incorporate them into salads, stir-fries, omelettes, and soups for added nutrition and flavor.
• Protein Supplements: In some cases, meeting protein needs through whole foods alone may be challenging. Protein supplements can provide a convenient solution for boosting protein intake without exacerbating intolerances. Look for pea protein, rice protein, or hemp protein powders that are free from common allergens and additives. These powders can be mixed into smoothies, shakes, or baked goods for an extra protein punch.

By including these alternative protein sources into your diet, you can guarantee that you satisfy your daily protein requirements while efficiently managing intolerances. Remember to plan your meals carefully and speak with a certified dietitian or nutritionist if you require personalised advice on handling protein intolerances.
