As such, more Malaysians are opting for plant-based eating, not necessarily for religious purposes, but for other reasons such as to help reduce carbon emissions, practise a more mindful lifestyle, as well as eat clean and healthy.
One popular misconception is that a plant-based diet does not supplement enough protein, which is not true.
In fact, many plant-based foods such as soy, nuts, and beans are packed with protein.
Plant-based food generally does not contain as much protein as animal products. However, it’s been reported that by consuming a wide variety of plant-based food, you can still get enough protein, as well as other forms of essential nutrients like iron, calcium, and more.
No. In fact, through plant-based eating, you’re opening yourself to tonnes of new recipes and flavours that can easily be prepared in the kitchen. Plant-based food can be as equally flavourful and yummy as regular food.
Additionally, not all plant-based foods are healthy. For example, it’s unhealthy to load yourself on potato chips, sugar, and refined grains.
So, while cutting out dairy and meat provide beneficial results in the long term, you still have to watch what you consume. It’s still essential to load up on whole grains, fruits, and vegetables.
Plus, it’s much easier to kickstart a plant-based diet these days. You can now easily find frozen plant-based options, canned vegetables, plant-based milk, and vegan ready-to-eat meals, all of which may be as healthy as consuming fresh food.
Launched not too long ago, First Pride’s Green Series marks the brand’s first plant-based range in Asia.
Noticing that plant-based eating has been rising in popularity, the brand knew just how important it was to offer plant-based products that are affordable and easily accessible for Malaysians.
Contrary to the popular myth that plant-based food lacks protein, First Pride’s Green Series is packed with plant-based protein, thanks to the brand’s expertise in the protein industry.
With their capabilities, the brand is able to offer snacks that have a meat-like texture and flavour, which makes a great alternative to actual meat. Another great thing is that Malaysians can rest assured that the entire Green Series range is halal-certified.
