Don't throw everything in the same basket though ! The likes of Beyond or Impossible are made with pea protein, which can be tough to digest (especially if you're like me with a pretty severe IBS). I think that they're also good but only in some contexts (like burgers for instance)

You can find other plant based protein made from wheat gluten (seitan), or soy (tofu, tempeh, TVP, etc.). Of course you can also try beans, chickpeas, lentils if you can digest them properly.

That's the great thing about plant based protein, you have plenty of choice, which you can decline pretty much infinitely. Learning to cook tofu properly is really rewarding.

Impossible is made with soy, not pea protein. I believe Beyond is the only one using pea protein (though I dont k ow if less well known brands are using it now as well).

Impossibles gimmick is that it's supposed to taste more like meat than most alternatives.

Cherish and protect the animals!

Rule 1: No carnist apologia.

Rule 2: This community is prioritizing vegan users first.

Rule 3: Mark articles with animal products/abuse thumbnails as nsfw.


We're looking for vegan mods to avoid the busy at animal sanctuary factor.
