Where do vegans get their protein from if not from meat?
October 30, 2007
We sneak meaty sausages when omnivores arent looking – That was my sense of “humour” answering a question that vegans get asked more than any other question in the world!
Seriously though, (breaths in……………..) The foods which commonly supply the most protein in a vegan diet are pulses (peas, beans, lentils, soya products), grains (wheat, oats, rice, barley, buckwheat, millet, pasta, bread), nuts (brazils, hazels, almonds, cashews) and seeds (sunflower, pumpkin, sesame).
If you are like me though and dont want to sit nibbling nuts seeds and lentils with your impressed face on faking a smile to your healthy vegan friends you could just tuck into… Vegan sausages, Nuggets, Mince, Cheese, Burgers and various other Fake Meats which are quite frankly amazing!
The fact is, eating a varied vegan diet you cannot go wrong with protein, just make sure you are eating your recommended calorie intake each day with various foods from the above recommendations and you will live a happy healthy life!

1.Do vegans only live on plant products?
2.So the needless cruelty, environmental devastation, bad karma, heart attacks, prostate cancer and plain old obesity associated with eating animals product RIGHT?

Hi.
I was reading through this book about healthy living.
And it kept saying how bad milk and meat was for you.
I very recently exited my vegetation diet;
But now I’m thinking of going back to it, on a more dramatic scale:
Vegan.
But I really don’t have any idea how much this will cost.
I’m not very economically compadible these days;
So I was wondering if this diet choice costs a large sum more than your average diet.
