When you’re plant-based, it’s so easy to simply substitute meat and dairy with plant-based protein and non-dairy milk. Simple, right? However, if you’re gluten-free and soy-free, it suddenly becomes a bit more difficult, especially because soy and gluten are usually the main ingredients in most plant-based proteins (think tofu scrambles, tempeh bacon, and “wheat meat” made from vital wheat gluten). So, when going plant-based while also avoiding soy and gluten, the main ingredients you can focus on are beans (lentils, chickpeas, and many more!), quinoa, teff, buckwheat, and amaranth.
