Why Protein Variety Matters: Unlocking the Power of Full Proteins

Eat a variety of protein !

Protein is essential for energy, muscle repair, brain function, and overall health. But not all proteins provide the nine essential amino acids your body needs.

Whether you follow a plant-based, flexitarian, or omnivorous diet, understanding how to combine protein sources is key to optimising your health, let's be smart and use food combinations to ensure we include full protein every day.

How to Get Complete Proteins

Pairing plant-based foods ensures you receive a full amino acid profile:

• Legumes + Grains → Lentils with brown rice & chickpeas

• Nuts + Legumes → Peanut butter on whole grain toast, hummus with seeds

• Dairy + Grains → Cheese on whole grain bread, yoghurt with oats

Why It Matters

✔ Boosts brain function – Amino acids fuel neurotransmitters.

✔ Steady energy – Protein balances blood sugar levels.

✔ Supports mood – Essential amino acids aid serotonin production.

✔ Aids weight management – Protein keeps you full longer.
