It's super evident that veganism continues to grow with more and more people committing to a cruelty free lifestyle. Interestingly, one of the main questions people receive from non veggies is, "Where do you get your protein?" The fact is, our bodies are not selective when it comes to protein which is to say that protein from any source, plants included, is effective. Often times, people think that without meat, we are sorely lacking in the protein department but that is simply not the case. There are an abundance of vegan protein options to get you through every day of the week. Here's a couple mentioned in the article I shared but I suggest you guys visit the article and read up for yourselves.

​CHICKPEAS

These have to be some of my favourite sources of protein because they are so versatile. They're easy to add to soups, stews, and curries, and can be blended up to make hummus which is also a nutritious and protein packed snack. 

BEANS / PULSES

Another super easy way to add protein to your diet is with beans / pulses. Much like chickpeas, you can add beans / pulses to pretty much any dish. Beans make great fillers in chilis and soups whereas lentils are an easy add in as well. You can also make a mean bolognese sauce with lentils for extra protein in your pasta dishes.

SOY MEATS

I can't tell you how far these products have come since I became a vegetarian 17 years ago. You can find a meat substitute for basically anything you would have eaten as a meat eater. Burgers, sausages, and meaty crumble are great ways to get your protein fix while also enjoying some of your favourite dishes from before you gave up meat.

Like I said guys, it's so super easy to get your protein with an abundance of available options out there to keep things varied and delicious. Make sure to check out the link at the top of the page for more information <3
