Tofu
Tofu is one of the best sources of plant-based protein, and also contains all nine essential amino acids. It's full of vitamins and minerals too, such as manganese, phosphorus and iron.
Rice
Rice is a good, healthier choice of carbohydrate, particularly if it's brown. It does well for your digestive system as it's a great source of soluble fibre, and works well as a gluten-free alternative.
