Welcome to another gluten-free edamame recipe. This time it´s a delicious bowl of edamame spaghetti and vegan mince salad.
200+ grams of plant-based protein from whole foods!!, with a satiety range of 66 to 80, makes for a killer salad suitable for 2 to 4 servings. And look at that low energy per unit of nutrient ratio. This is a salad recipe to die for.
Enjoy.

the coach perspective
What can I say about this meal? It´s a high-protein, higher-SPC edamame pasta salad. And with such an abundance of nutrients, you can turn this into 4 different meals for yourself if you like.
Lasting for several days or providing a high-protein dinner for 2 to 4 people.
It´s also gluten-free, high-protein, and very satiating, with 180 grams of fiber and 200+ grams of protein, from nothing but whole plant-based foods. You also get a good amount of healthy fats and a low energy per unit of nutrient range.
So this meal is as good as it gets. That low energy per unit of nutrients does beg that you do not get fooled by the apparently looking high energy content, because this meal is so satiating, and loaded with so many nutrients that you will not end up getting nearly as much energy from this meal as you think.
So have at it, enjoy it, and eat until you feel healthily full. Save the leftovers for another meal and or day.
Well, of course, edamame pasta is strictly speaking a processed food. But the process of turning edamame beans into tasty pasta is not the same kind of unhealthy process as premade store-bought pies, cookies, bread, burgers, and fast food go through.
There’s no added sugar, SPC is high, nutrients per energy unit are high, protein and fiber are both high, and it is just plain great.
This mirrors the same way that canned kidney beans have been processed, too, but it’s still nothing but a healthy, whole plant-based food.
So, as far as this nutritional coach goes, edamame pasta is incredibly healthy, and I count it as mildly processed whole plant-based foods, and I recommend that you adopt that mindset too.
Tweak One.
If anything can be done to make this meal even better, then I would get rid of the vegan cheese. You don’t need it. Add more tofu instead, or some veggies, or fruit. The cheese is only included for the difference in taste and meal experience it creates. You could also get rid of the lemon juice and include whole lemon slices instead.
Tweak Two.
A salad is a perfect home for our amazing, sandwich maker, BBQ smashed potatoes. So, if you would like to increase the energy per unit of nutrient ratio and up your energy intake, considering how low it actually is, add a grilled smashed potato per plate.
Cabbage is amazing by the way, so tasty, and it goes so well with everything else in this high-protein pasta salad.
But, please rinse, wash, and cook it properly. Plenty of people can get tummy aches from improperly cooked and prepped cabbage. So, while cabbage is a nutritious and amazing addition to any meal, always wash and rinse it properly.
Now, I know that not everyone enjoys a slice of fresh, raw pineapple the same way that I do. If so, remove it. But if you are capable of appreciating its fresh spunk and juices, it will deliver a wonderful taste sensation to this salad.
As always, save any leftovers for another meal or day.
Enjoy and let us know how this one tasted.

Complete view of protein, human health, exercise, and aging. RDA vs higher-protein intake, and high-SPC
Protein synthesis & its role in hypertrophy is, first of all, not the be-all, end-all of higher protein intake benefits.
So neither 1.6 nor 2.0g/kg/day represents a hard stop with no additional benefits from a higher protein intake. The reason why some people can claim that 1.6 is all that’s needed depends on how complete you want the conversation to be. But, when they make that claim, they are always, and only, talking about healthy, younger omnivores, and they are only looking at protein synthesis and hypertrophy. Seemingly doing so because they are convinced that human health, nutrition, and fitness never, ever go beyond these two things, and that everyone happens to be young, and an omnivore.
This is based on an incomplete understanding, or at least a limited perspective, on food, health, aging, and fitness.
