Tempeh
It’s not always easy to get enough protein if you follow a plant-based diet, and tempeh is a great solution. Its nougat-like texture makes tempeh a smart stand-in for meat. Sauté, or crumble cooked tempeh over salads.
Flaxseeds
Flaxseeds are soluble fiber that help the gut microbiome, Weiler says, and therefore potentially support metabolism. They’re also a viable source of protein. Make them into a breakfast pudding with yogurt, or sprinkle them into a smoothie or onto a salad.
