The Best Plant-Based Sources of Omega-3 Fatty Acids for Vegans and Vegetarians

For vegans and vegetarians, getting enough omega-3 fatty acids can be a challenge. Unlike their animal-based counterparts, plant-based sources of omega-3s contain a different type of omega-3 called alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which the body must convert into the more beneficial forms of omega-3s, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). However, with a little bit of planning, it's still possible for vegans and vegetarians to meet their omega-3 needs. Here are some of the best plant-based sources of omega-3 fatty acids.

Flaxseeds

Flaxseeds are one of the richest sources of plant-based omega-3s, with 1 tablespoon containing around 2.3 grams of ALA. Flaxseeds can be added to smoothies, oatmeal, or baked goods, or used as a plant-based egg substitute in recipes.

Chia seeds

Chia seeds are another excellent source of plant-based omega-3s, with 1 tablespoon containing around 1.9 grams of ALA. Chia seeds can be added to smoothies, oatmeal, or yogurt, or used to make chia pudding.

Hemp seeds

Hemp seeds are a nutritious source of omega-3s, with 1 tablespoon containing around 0.6 grams of ALA. Hemp seeds can be added to smoothies, salads, or sprinkled on top of roasted vegetables.

Walnuts

Walnuts are not only a great source of healthy fats, but they also contain omega-3s, with 1 ounce (about 14 halves) containing around 2.6 grams of ALA. Walnuts can be eaten as a snack, added to salads, or used as a crunchy topping for oatmeal or yogurt.

Soybeans

Soybeans are a versatile legume that can be used in a variety of dishes, from stir-fries to salads. They also contain omega-3s, with 1 cup of cooked soybeans containing around 0.5 grams of ALA.

Brussels sprouts

Brussels sprouts are a nutrient-dense vegetable that's also a surprising source of omega-3s, with 1 cup of cooked Brussels sprouts containing around 0.1 grams of ALA. Brussels sprouts can be roasted, sautéed, or used in salads.

Spinach

Spinach is another nutrient-dense vegetable that's also a source of omega-3s, with 1 cup of cooked spinach containing around 0.4 grams of ALA. Spinach can be used in salads, smoothies, or sautéed as a side dish.

Conclusion

Incorporating these plant-based sources of omega-3s into your diet can be easy and delicious. Try adding them to your meals throughout the day, and experimenting with different recipes and flavor combinations. While it's important to note that the body's conversion of ALA to EPA and DHA is not very efficient, incorporating a variety of plant-based sources of omega-3s into your diet can still help ensure that you're meeting your nutrient needs.

Chia seeds are a great source of omega 3s, omegas are great for heart health and should be included in the diet daily if possible! The top sources of omegas on a vegan diet are flax seeds, chia seeds, hemp seeds and walnuts. I include one (at least a tsp) of these in my breakfasts almost every day! Today I have lotttttts of chia seeds in the form of a chia pudding! Recipe coming soon in our blog! 💗🤸‍♀️ #veganhealth #vegannutrition #plantbaseddiet #holisticnutrition #veganomega3 #vegandiet #veganweightloss #veganhealthcoach #healthyveganfood #wholefoodplantbased #wfpb #vegantransition #wholefoodsrecipe #veganmadeeasy #veganmadesimple #plantbasedmadeeasy #plantbasedmadesimple #simplevegannutrition #veganeating #veganwholefood #plantbasedrecipe https://www.instagram.com/p/B2V_PSpoCht/?igshid=1mk5dtj4m3yd3

~ ~~~ Raw flaxseeds are high in dietary fiber and omega 3 fatty acids, minerals: manganese, magnesium, thiamine, antioxidants, and plant based proteins. They are great for digestion and bowel movement, as it lubricates the intestinal tract reliving symptoms of constipation. ~~~ They are extremely beneficial when sprouted then grounded as it helps absorb nutrition, as posed to having them whole. ~~~ Once the seeds are grounded they begin to lose their potency, and need to be refrigerated! ~~~ It is recommended to buy organic as they are heavily sprayed. ~~~ Flaxseeds contain high levels of Mucilage gum which is a gel like forming fiber that is water soluble, it moves slowly through the gut without it being digested, thereby making it easier to absorb nutrients. ~~~ Mucilage keeps food in the stomach making you feel satisfied for a longer period of time, it can indirectly aid in weight loss. ~~~ Benefits of flaxseeds: • Brain health • Gut health ( detoxifying, relieve constipation) • Diabetes management • May help in lower the risk of heart disease. ~~~ Flaxseeds have found to benefit and strengthen hair by providing extra conditioning that repairs damage, due to the nutrients found within it. . . ~~~ To make flaxseed gel you will need: • 200g flaxseeds • 500ml of water ~~~ Put both water and flaxseeds into a saucepan, on a medium heat gently simmering whilst stirring constantly, once boiled frothy gel forms, remove from the heat. It starts to thicken on it's own as it cools. After cooling for 40 minutes strain to remove seeds. Store in an airtight container and refrigerate. It will keep up a week to 10 days. ~~~ You can add essential oils of your choice or coconut oil.. ~~~ Then gently apply small amounts to the hair to keep it hydrated and conditioned. . . . . #flaxseeds #flaxseedsmoothie #flaxseedsoil #flaxseedsgel #flaxseedsbenefit #flaxseedsbenefits #flaxseed #flaxseedgel #flaxseedoil #flaxseedbenefits #linseed #linseedoil #rawflaxseed #dietaryfiber #omega3fattyacids #veganomega3 #healthtips #thiamine #manganese #magnesium #mucilage (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5dRLHPplxv/?igshid=3282s2q9nb2d

Repost @veganfitlyfe with @get_repost ・・・ Excellent Vegan Protein Sources 💚💪 . Tag someone who still thinks it's still hard to get protein as a vegan . Comment how many of these you are already eating below 👇 . Protein gives our bodies structure as part of our muscles and bones. It is also used for fighting infection, carrying oxygen, growth and repair. So, how do vegans get enough protein? This is a common question about plant-based nutrition. A common concern about vegetarian and vegan diets is that they might lack sufficient protein. However, many experts agree that a well-planned vegetarian or vegan diet can provide you with all the nutrients you need . That said, certain plant foods contain significantly more protein than others. And higher-protein diets can promote muscle strength, satiety and weight loss . Here are some excellant 24 plant foods that contain a high amount of protein per serving. . . 🌱 . #veganomega3 🌱 #plantbased #veganfoods #veganlife #veganlifestyle #crueltyfree #crueltyfreeliving #nomeat #nodairy #veganism #veganfortheanimals #veganfortheplanet #vegan #almonds #chia #pumpkinseeds . . . #Киноа #Befresh #Интересное #Витамины #Москва #Злаки #белок #БезГМО #Полезно #Углеводы #Фосфор #полезноИвкусно #веган #musclegain
