Whether you’ve been a vegan for years, you’re just now dipping your toes into the lifestyle, or you’re not even a full vegan put hoping to incorporate some more non-animal protein into your diet, you’ve probably run into one little issue: it’s hard to find quality protein if you aren’t eating meat. There is only so much tofu you can eat, and you’re trying to avoid those fake meats because they are loaded with chemicals.
