Vegan, or vegetarian? HELP

Question

I’m 16 and I’m living with many health conditions so I can’t eat legumes, beans, corn, soy, dairy, etc. I don’t know how to get my protein. I’ve been doing a vegan lifestyle for the past week. I’m not sure if it would be better for me to revert to vegetarian. I really don’t want to. I don’t want to eat animals. It breaks my heart. I just don’t have anything to eat. Help!

Answer

Quinoa, buckwheat, brown rice, nut butters, peas, avocado, hemp and flax seeds, leafy greens etc

Answer

Cows and elephants and gorillas all get their protein from plants! The best solution for you would be to eat lots of leafy greens. Seeds (like chia, flax, and hemp) have protein, too! You could make smoothies with hemp protein powder.

Answer

I was vegan for about 5 months, but it was making my mental health worse so I switched back to pescatarian. Now, I just buy certified humane products.

Answer

Nutritional yeast. I often see vegan posts about it. Tried it today for the first time; added it on top of my baked potato. Tasted good and adds protein!

Answer

Nuts seeds grains, all super high in protein.

Answer

Be sure to check ingredients but I always have a thing of vegan protein powder around. The kind I get has 22g of protein plus other vitamins and nutrients. But i love nuts so I eat a lot of those. And chia seeds! I got a large container for a good price at Walmart and it came with it’s on scoop!
