At The Mighty Kitchen, we’re here to clear the air (and your plate) with truth, flavour, and facts. Let’s break down some of the biggest plantbased myths once and for all.

Myth #1: "Plantbased diets don’t have enough protein."

Reality: This is probably the most common misconception and it couldn’t be further from the truth.

Plantbased proteins like lentils, chickpeas, tofu, tempeh, seitan, and even our own range of vegan chick*n are packed with complete or complementary proteins. Plus, eating a variety of plants over the day ensures you get all essential amino acids.

Myth #2: "Plantbased food is bland and boring."

Reality: If your plantbased meal is boring… you're doing it wrong.

From spices and sauces to meat alternatives that mimic the taste and texture of your favorites, plantbased cuisine is anything but bland. At The Mighty Kitchen, our goal is to bring flavor to the forefront. Think crispy tenders, juicy strips, and saucy meatballs that don’t sacrifice taste or texture.

Pro tip: Marinate and season your plantbased proteins just like meat. The flavour payoff is chef’s kiss.

Myth #3: "Going plantbased is expensive."

Reality: A bag of lentils costs less than a pack of steak.

While specialty products can add up, a plantbased pantry built around whole foods, such as, grains, beans, seasonal veggies is super cost-effective. Meat alternatives like ours offer convenience and protein at a price that’s still often more affordable than premium animal-based products.

Myth #4: "You’ll always feel hungry."

Reality: Plants are fiber-rich, and fiber is filling.

Unlike highly processed animal-based meals, plantbased foods keep you full longer because they digest slower and stabilize blood sugar. Add healthy fats (like avocado or olive oil), fiber, and protein to every meal, and you’ll stay satisfied for hours.

Myth #5: "Plantbased diets aren’t for athletes or active people."

Reality: Some of the world’s strongest athletes are powered by plants.

From tennis stars to bodybuilders, more athletes are going plantbased for performance and recovery. With the right balance of protein, carbs, and micronutrients, a plantbased diet can fuel your body at any level.

Fun fact: Many endurance athletes report improved recovery time and energy after going plantbased.

Final Thought: Plantbased Isn’t a Trend, It’s a Movement
