My Second Vegan Thanksgiving... This video says it all.

I made it!  I cannot believe this is my second year as a Vegan celebrating Thanksgiving!  Many wonderful meat free dishes were on the menu this year and everyone truly enjoyed the experience.
In my opinion Thanksgiving would not be Thanksgiving without creamy "cheesy" vegan mac and cheese..... who could resist .... the star of the show...

Where's The Protein?

As a former carnivore turned vegan, I am bombarded with questions all the time from family, friends, even perfect strangers. But there is one question that is asked at least a hundred thousand times a day.  
Where do you get your protein?  Well... I will show you ...


Below is an example of a protein packed meal. This is something I would enjoy for breakfast, lunch or dinner.  There's a bunch of stuff in there but I'll just point out the protein parts.   

 

• Tofu

• Peanuts

• Kale (yep kale has protein)  (and Calcium!)

• Edamame

• Avocado

• Bean Sprouts 

And the secret power food hidden under all this deliciousness... Quinoa!

Plenty of protein.  No animals.

Believe me when I say, when done correctly a Vegan lifestyle is full, balanced and nutritious.
