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.
- Kale (yep kale has protein) (and Calcium!)
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.
Are you a new or seasoned vegan/vegetarian? What types of questions have you been asked? How do you handle all the inquiries? Please share in the comments!
Are you thinking about trying a plant based lifestyle? Do you have questions? Ask away in the comments and I will do my best to find the answers!
This weekend I went to Aldi, for the very first time. To be honest I was always skeptical of shopping there, I thought like many people, Aldi was not one of those stores that would carry very high quality food items. Well I was wrong! I was thrilled and
surprised to find they carry many healthy items!
The produce section is
small but the selection was pretty good. They had organic apples and
bananas!! They also carry many USA grown produce and no GMO produce so thumbs
up Aldi!
I even found this totally vegan German rye bread (pictured below). Simply made
using few ingredients (whole kernel rye, water, wholemeal rye flour,
oat fiber, yeast. ) And it was so cheap I couldn't believe my eyes!
I've spent 5-7 dollars for similar bread in whole foods. This one was only
1.79! I was excited to find it.
I am going to enjoy it topped with lots of yummy veggies and veganaise! Maybe a vegan curry chickn' salad!!
Vegan / healthy eating on a budget, it can be done! No excuses people!
