Where Do You Get Your Protein?

I get that question a lot.  

As a vegan, getting enough protein is the least of my concern.  

Mainly because it's readily available in a lot of the foods most of us consume quite often.

When I met Afya Ibomu at DC VegFest, she gave me a card listing plant-based sources of protein that includes nuts/seeds, beans, fruit, vegetables and grains.

Here are just a few of those great sources...

Vegetables:

Green peas   Spinach   Tomatoes   Peppers   Broccoli   Baked Potato   Cabbage
