This one is for vegetarians seeking to up their protein intake. Low fat high protein paneer is a classic example of elite nutrition and terrible taste - or are there some good brands that are actually edible? I rank some of the brands I've used in recent times.

What about homemade paneer? I prefer to make even herbal paneer at home and use the residual whey in curries and dough for rotis.

Yes but I cook all Meals myself so it’s hard to make everything from scratch

I like to set curd at home and make paneer too but then the cook does the rest.

We don't get some of the brands you mentioned in Mumbai except Punjab Sind and Milky Mist ! We get also Pride of cows which I buy and Epigamia high protein and Skyr ! All not tasty enough but high protein! Have to buy some paneer since we are vegetarians!

I understand some brands are very South focused - I’m sure you may find some other brands in mumbai

The Epigamia contains the highest protein !We prepare with a nice gravy which adds to the taste but I don't know how people are prepared to eat this every day !

I have tried Heritage once I don’t quite remember how it tasted. Noice I’ve tried the regular one didn’t know they also had high protein version

I think they launched it quite recently. Their product page claims it to be softer. I'm yet to try this one as well.

Why is it so complicated? I offen use Amul 1.5% fat slim n trim milk, simply curdle it and use the chenna. Excellent taste. Very versatile too. Or sometimes double skim the regular local cow milk which is anyway low in fat because the cows are not tied 24 hours

People who have milk and milk products cannot be called Vegetarians. Milk does not come from Vegetables and is actually white blood.

Good video! Lost interest in panneer for.a long time, then the whole controversy of fake paneer came into fashion, pushing me further away. Interesting to note Alepa and Punjab Sind brand, haven't heard of both.

Taste is the hard part with high-protein swaps. For paneer, the best option is probably the one people will actually keep eating, not just the best macro label.

Today is World Protein Day. The purpose of this day is to raise awareness among people to increase their protein intake. It's a bit of a long read. When I started my mission of “Protein Kidhar Hai?” back in 2018, I got backlash from many educated and literate people, saying I was pushing for whey companies and harming people's kidneys. However, to date, we haven’t seen anyone come to me saying your protein campaign put me on dialysis. Anyway, Today, after 6-7 years, I am seeing a significant change on X and other social media. Everyone is talking about protein. Many senior citizens on my timeline also upped their intake, many women are now taking care of it, and many parents are making sure their kids are eating enough protein. Though we still get names called by some ignorants like protein-jeet and proteinmaxxers, we are proud of it. Collective, you me, are pushing everyone around us to eat more protein and removing the “protein deficient” tag from everyone’s plate. I just released a video on YouTube explaining how much protein you really need, as well as how much your parents, your kids, and your significant others need. This video is end to end scientifically proven and I have added all possible research and evidence for naysayers. Watch full video here: Happy Protein Day to everyone breaking all the traditionalism and conservatism of insufficient protein. Happy Protein Day to everyone who has fought with their people constantly for years to change their food intake habits. Be a proud proteinmaxxer!

you don’t need whey protein because it’s unnatural” is genuinely one of the worst takes floating around indian households. let me be clear. 1 scoop gives you roughly 25g of protein in minutes. your dal, sabzi, and roti combined don’t even come close to what your body actually needs to function properly. whey protein isn’t some lab-created poison. it’s literally milk protein separated out. if paneer is natural, whey is natural. the only difference is whey actually works faster and doesn’t come loaded with extra fat. here’s the real problem. most indians, especially vegetarians, are surviving on maybe 30-40g of protein daily when they need double that just to maintain basic health. and the solution is sitting right there but people won’t touch it because someone said it’s western or chemicals. (by the way you can consume protein from other sources, fair enough but i'm accounting for ease and bioavailability as well) whenever i travel constantly. trains, hotels, random cities. i don’t have to stress about breakfast because i can tear open a packet, mix it in 200ml water, and get 25g of protein that keeps me sorted till afternoon. if you can afford it and especially if you’re vegetarian, stop making protein harder than it needs to be. add a scoop to your breakfast or post-workout and watch your energy, recovery, and overall health improve. also this isn’t about bodybuilding. this is about not being protein-starved in a carb-heavy culture. make sense?
