What ingredients replace red meat and dairy products?

Governments and health organisations are advising to make a protein shift. This means we have to replace animal-based proteins by plant-based proteins. There are many health advantages for people.

Red meat like pork, beef and lamb and dairy products like cow milk and cheese should be replaced by legumes, tofu, wheat and rye, potatoes, root vegetables, rice, nuts, and seeds and can be complemented by fatty fish, chicken and eggs.

Health institutes indicate that people have to gather 1,2 – 1,7 g protein per kg body weight. Someone who weighs 75 kg easily has a required daily intake of 100 g proteins. If we would like to replace dairy products (and red meat) we have many tasty alternatives if we look at below overview. Once again a combination of nuts, seeds, soya, tofu, whole grain bread and pasta, sardines and canned salmon could be the solution. Add also other fishes and sea food, chick peas, quinoa, beans, lentils, chicken and hummus.
