Dietary Fibre is an essential component of your diet. It helps keep your digestive system healthy, increases the good bacteria in your gut, and can even reduce the risk of certain diseases. The recommended daily fibre intake for adults is approximately 25 grams for women, and 38 grams for men, per day. For a more in depth look at the reasons you need to be getting enough fibre in your diet, why not take a gander at our previous article Why is Fibre Important? To make life easier, and make sure you’re hitting your RDA for fibre, we’ve compiled a handy list of some high fibre foods. They’re not just great sources of fibre, but also healthy, tasty, and satisfying – so without further ado, let’s get on with the list! Nuts First up on the list, is the small but mighty nut! Not only are nuts nutritional powerhouses, they’re an excellent supply of fibre too. Pine nuts, pistachios, hazelnuts, and pecans are all great choices when it comes to upping your daily fibre. However, almonds are the clear winner when it comes to the highest fibre content. Fibre content: Almonds – Approx. 13.3 grams per 100 grams Popcorn If you’re looking to increase your fibre intake, then popcorn just might be one of the best snacks you can choose to munch on. Plain, air-popped popcorn is extremely high in fibre, calorie for calorie. Just remember, if you add a lot of sugar, or fat, such as oil, to your popcorn, the fibre-to-calorie ratio will be considerably lower. Fibre content: Approx. 14 grams per 100 grams Chia Seeds If you haven’t heard about chia seeds yet – let us introduce you! Chia seeds are tiny black seeds that are becoming increasingly popular and may just be one of the best fibre sources on the planet. They are often referred to as a superfood due to their exceptionally high nutritional value, containing high amounts of magnesium, phosphorus, and calcium. Head over to our recipe page to find a wide range of Chia seed recipes from Blueberry Jam to Banana Muffins – delicious! Fibre content: Approx. 34.4 grams per 100 grams Beans Not only are beans a great source of plant protein, making them a great meat alternative, they are also an excellent way to get more fibre in your diet. Black beans, pinto beans, mung beans and aduki beans are all great choices for upping your fibre intake. However, haricot beans take the crown as the highest fibre bean in town. Fibre content: Haricot Beans - Approx. 8 grams per 100 grams Apples You’ve probably heard the saying ‘An apple a day, keeps the doctor away’. Turns out, there could be a lot of truth to that. Many fruits are filled with fibre, but apples, especially with the skin on, are the perfect pick for increasing your fibre intake. Plus, they count as one of your five a day! Fibre content: Approx. 2.4 grams per 100 grams, or 4.4 grams in a medium-sized apple. Lentils Looking for a cheap, simple, and nutritious food source? Well, look no further than lentils! Along with being high in fibre, they’re also as high in protein and loaded with many important nutrients. Lentils are an easy addition to your diet, add them to soups, stews, curries, salads and even desserts! Fibre content: 13.1 grams per cup of cooked lentils, or 7.3 grams per 100 grams Sweet Potatoes Are you a sweet potato lover? If so, we have good news for you! Sweet potatoes are bountiful in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and of course, fibre. Not to mention, they provide a wide range of health benefits and are a simple, and delicious, addition to your diet. Fibre content: Approx. 2.5 grams per 100 grams or 3.8 grams for a medium-sized boiled sweet Chickpeas Another type of legume that’s loaded with not just healthy fibre, but also vitamins, minerals, and plant protein is chickpeas. Easily included in your diet, they can be used in many different recipes. Chickpeas are also the main ingredient of hummus, which is a simple spread you can make yourself. Fibre content: 12.5 grams per cup of cooked chickpeas, or 7.6 per 100 grams Berries Berries get a lot of attention for their antioxidants, but they’re filled with healthy fibre too. Raspberries are a particularly rich source, but blackberries, strawberries, and blueberries are also a great choice for increasing your fibre intake. Another one of the biggest benefits of eating berries is that they’re also naturally low in calories. Sounds like a win-win to us! Fibre content: Raspberries - Approx. 7 grams per 100 grams Quinoa Quinoa is a pseudo-cereal that is an excellent source of plant protein, along with being high in fibre.

Here at Wholefood Earth, we believe that no question is a silly question. For anyone wanting to know if there is any difference between soy and soya then we have the answer you seek! The short but sweet answer is NO – Soy and Soya are exactly the same thing. Both terms mainly refer to the bean (from which all soya products originate) which can also be called a soybean or soya bean. However, the only real difference is in the spelling. It tends to be referred to more as soy in the US, while here in Europe it is more widely known as soya. No wonder it can get confusing! But we’re happy to set the record straight 😊 So now you have your answer, how about finding out Why Soya is a Great Meat Substitute?

Did you know that soya is the cheapest and most widely eaten supply of plant protein on the planet? Soya is an excellent source of protein, providing all nine of the essential amino acids we need for growth, repair and functions like immunity. It is also low in saturated fats and rich in fibre, it contains vital fatty acids plus a wide range of important vitamins and minerals. Plus, dishes that use soy as a substitute for meat often have fewer calories and less fat. No wonder soya is a perfect meat replacement for vegetarians, vegans or anyone wanting a healthier alternative, or to eat more sustainably! What is Soya? Soya foods are made from the soya bean plant, which is native to China, it’s been a staple part of Asian diets for many years and is becoming increasingly popular in the UK. The beans extremely versatile texture makes it easy to be processed into a variety of foods including milk, soya protein, plus fermented foods such as tofu, miso and tempeh. But we’re here today to talk to you about the wonderful world of soya meat replacements! You may have heard soya meat substitutes referred to in many ways - Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP), Textured Soy Protein (TSP), Soya chunks and sometimes Soy meat. They are made the same way, from defatted soya flour which is created by removing the oil from the soybeans. The soybeans are ground into a fine flour, mixed with water, and then moulded into the preferred form - usually either mince or chunks. As your one stop shop for organic wholefoods, we currently sell a range of soya products for you to peruse. Let’s take you through the main types of meat substitutes, and the best ways to use them - TVP/Soya Mince Soya Mince, also known as textured vegetable protein (TVP) or textured soy protein (TSP), has been textured and shaped to resemble mince, or ground beef. TVP was created back in the 1960s by Archer Daniels Midland, a multinational American company, who still hold the trademark name for the product today. Soya mince can come unflavoured or flavoured, but it’s generally seasoned and coloured so that the look and taste is similar to that of mince beef. Due to soya mince being a dehydrated product, it needs to be soaked in hot water or broth for around 10 minutes (depending on the amount) for it to become appetizing. Being an immensely versatile food, soya mince can be used in any recipe that calls for mince or any other type of ground meat. This makes it the perfect meat replacement to make classic favourites such as spaghetti Bolognese, chilli con carne, cottage pie, lasagne or even tacos! Soya Chunks Soya Chunks are another version or TVP or TSP, the soy is just moulded into bigger cubes or chunks – hence the name. Much like the mince, the soya chunks will need to be soaked before using. As with all soya products, they’re pretty much flavourless so tend to take on the flavour and taste of whatever they’re cooked with making them incredibly adaptable. Given their bigger size, they’re a great meat alternative in curries, stir fries, stews, pies and salads, or how about adding a batter and turning them into a vegan version of popcorn chicken! Soya chunks boast numerous health benefits, it can enable quicker muscle building and may aid in a faster metabolism. Soya is full of polyunsaturated fats, proteins and omega 3 fatty acids. They are rich in calcium and iron while containing no extra sodium or sugar, additionally, they’re lower in calories and fat than meat. Soya chunks are packed with fibre, which promotes food passing more slowly through the system and keeping you fuller for longer, whilst aiding digestive health.

Sticking to a keto diet is all about keeping carbohydrates low while getting enough protein and healthy fat. For anyone who also eats plant-based, that raises an obvious question: which protein powders are genuinely low in carbs and suitable for keto? Not every vegan protein fits the bill, so this guide rounds up the best plant-based options for a low-carb lifestyle and shows you what to look for on the label. What makes a protein powder keto-friendly Before getting to the list, it helps to know what you are aiming for. A keto-friendly protein powder should be high in protein, low in net carbs per serving, and free from added sugars, sweetened syrups or starchy fillers. Many mainstream protein powders, especially meal-replacement and mass-gainer types, hide carbohydrates in the form of oats, maltodextrin or fruit sugars, so the ingredients list is your best friend. As a general rule, the simpler the formula, the better it suits keto. Pea protein Pea protein is arguably the most popular plant protein for good reason. Made from yellow split peas, it is naturally low in carbohydrates, high in protein and rich in the amino acids your body needs for muscle repair. Its mild, neutral flavour blends easily into shakes and smoothies, and it is gentle on digestion. For most people following a vegan keto plan, pea protein is a reliable first choice. Hemp protein Hemp protein comes from hemp seeds and brings more than just protein to the table. It contains healthy fats and a good dose of fibre, which suits the higher-fat nature of keto nicely. The trade-off is a slightly earthier taste and a marginally lower protein percentage than pea or soya, but as a whole-food style protein with added nutritional benefits, it is a strong contender. Pumpkin seed protein Pumpkin seed protein is a quietly excellent choice for keto. It is low in carbohydrates and packed with minerals such as magnesium, zinc and iron. It has a mild, nutty flavour and tends to be easy to digest, making it a good option for anyone who finds other proteins heavy. Sunflower seed protein One of the newer options on the shelf, sunflower seed protein is naturally allergen-friendly, which makes it ideal for people avoiding soya or nuts. It is low in carbs, gentle on the stomach and blends well, especially when combined with other seed proteins for a fuller amino acid profile. Blended plant proteins Some of the best keto-friendly powders combine several plant proteins in one. A pea and rice blend is a classic, pairing the strengths of both to deliver a complete range of essential amino acids. Multi-source blends of pea, pumpkin, sunflower and hemp are increasingly common and offer a well-rounded, low-carb option in a single scoop. If you want convenience and balance, a blend is often the smart pick. A whole-food protein to keep alongside Powders are not the only way to lift your protein on a low-carb diet. Hemp seeds are one of the best whole-food options to keep in the cupboard, naturally high in protein, low in carbohydrates and rich in healthy fats, which makes them a natural fit for keto. Our Organic Shelled Hemp Seeds have a soft texture and mild, nutty taste, so they are easy to sprinkle over salads, stir into coconut yoghurt or blend into a shake for an extra protein lift. Think of them as the perfect partner to your protein powder. How to choose the right one for you The best plant-based protein powder for keto really comes down to your own needs and taste. Check the net carbs per serving and keep them low. Scan the ingredients for added sugars and starchy fillers. Consider any allergies, since soya and nuts are common triggers. And think about flavour and texture, because the powder you enjoy is the one you will actually keep using. It is worth trying a couple of options to find your favourite. Eating plant-based and keto at the same time is far easier than it sounds once you know which proteins to reach for. Pea, hemp, pumpkin seed and sunflower seed proteins, along with well-made blends, all deliver plenty of protein without the carbs. Read the label, keep the sugars low, and lean on whole-food helpers like hemp seeds to round things out. With the right powder in your routine, you can hit your protein goals and stay firmly in ketosis, all on a plant-based plate. If you have a health condition or are new to keto, it is always worth speaking to a healthcare professional before making significant changes to your diet.

Following a vegan diet and a keto diet at the same time can feel like a bit of a balancing act. Keto asks you to keep carbohydrates low and protein steady, while a plant-based diet rules out the meat, eggs and whey that many people lean on for that protein. The good news is that the two can absolutely work together, and a well-chosen plant protein powder makes it far easier. The trick is knowing which powders are genuinely low in carbs and which are not. Here is a friendly guide to the vegan protein powders worth trying on a keto plan, and how to use them. Why protein matters on a vegan keto diet Protein does a lot of quiet work. It helps you feel full, supports muscle repair and recovery, and gives structure to a diet that might otherwise lean heavily on fats. On a vegan keto plan, hitting your protein target from whole foods alone can be tricky, especially once you take higher-carb pulses off the table. A scoop of low-carb plant protein powder is a simple way to fill the gap without tipping you out of ketosis. The key word is low-carb. Not all plant proteins are equal, so it pays to read the label and check the carbohydrate content per serving before you buy. The best low-carb plant proteins A handful of plant proteins stand out for their favourable protein-to-carb ratio, which makes them well suited to a keto approach. Pea protein is one of the most popular. Made from yellow split peas, it is naturally low in carbohydrates, rich in protein and easy to digest, with a mild flavour that blends well into shakes. Hemp protein comes from hemp seeds and brings healthy fats and fibre along with its protein, which suits the higher-fat nature of keto nicely, though it tends to have a slightly earthier taste. Pumpkin seed protein is another excellent choice, low in carbs and packed with minerals such as magnesium and zinc. Sunflower seed protein is a newer option that is naturally allergen-friendly and gentle on digestion. Brown rice protein is worth a mention too. On its own it is not a complete protein, which is why it is often blended with pea protein to cover all the essential amino acids. A pea and rice blend is a reliable, keto-friendly all-rounder. Which ones to approach with care A few plant proteins are better left off a strict keto plan. Soya protein is high quality and complete, but some products are blended with added carbohydrates, so check the label closely. Anything marketed as a meal-replacement or a mass-gainer often contains added sugars, oats or other carbs that will quickly eat into your daily allowance. The same goes for flavoured powders sweetened with syrups or fruit sugars. As a rule, the shorter and simpler the ingredients list, the better it tends to suit keto. A whole-food protein worth keeping in Powders are convenient, but they are not the only way to boost plant protein on a low-carb diet. Hemp seeds are one of the best whole-food options you can keep in the cupboard. They are naturally high in protein, low in carbohydrates and rich in healthy fats, which makes them a natural fit for keto. Our Organic Shelled Hemp Seeds have a soft texture and a mild, nutty taste, so they are easy to scatter over salads, stir into coconut yoghurt or blend into a shake for an extra protein lift. Think of them as a versatile companion to your protein powder rather than a replacement. How to use plant protein powder on keto Getting the most from a low-carb protein powder is simple. Blend a scoop with unsweetened plant milk, a spoonful of nut butter and a handful of ice for a filling shake that fits your macros. Stir it into keto porridge made from seeds rather than oats, or use it to add structure to low-carb baking such as protein pancakes and fat bombs. A little goes a long way, so start with one serving a day and see how it fits around your meals. Finding your fit Eating vegan and keto at the same time is easier than it looks once you know which proteins to reach for. Focus on the low-carb stars, pea, hemp, pumpkin seed and sunflower seed protein, keep an eye on the label for hidden sugars, and lean on whole-food helpers like hemp seeds to round things out. With the right powder in your routine, you can hit your protein goals, stay in ketosis and keep every shake completely plant-based. As always, if you have a health condition or are new to keto, it is worth checking in with a healthcare professional before making big changes to your diet.
