Leucine is a branch-chained amino acid that promotes muscle-protein synthesis after exercise, and can sometimes be limited on a plant-based diet. Thanks to high quality protein sources in this spicy, earthy dish, two servings will give you back 1.4 grams of leucine.

A pouch of the Mater Paneer (a hearty two servings) provides 30% of the daily value of iron thanks to functional ingredients like tofu, green peas, and cashews. Iron is the essential mineral required in the formation of red blood cells that transport oxygen to every single cell in your body.

When it comes to plant-based foods, all iron is found in its non-heme form which needs help from Vitamin C to be absorbed into the body. Tomatoes, an excellent source of Vitamin C, create the foundation for the rich gravy in our Paneer and provides over 3x the daily value.

Authentic spices like garam masala, cumin seeds, garlic, ginger root, and turmeric bring an earthy, spiced flavor to the dish and also provide an impressive amount of antioxidants to reduce inflammation.
