Photo by Kelly Rossiter Hands down, the number one response I get from people when I mention that my children are both vegetarian is "but how do they get enough protein? " Getting your daily requirement of protein is actually pretty easy. In fact, if you are eating meat, chances are you are consuming more protein than you need. Eating any kind of balanced diet simply requires a little thought and a well stocked pantry. According to the Canada Food Guide adult men require three servings of meat alternatives and women require two per day. 3/4 cup of cooked beans or tofu translates into one serving, as do two eggs or two tablespoons of peanut butter. There's no question that using dried chickpeas or beans takes a bit of forethought because you have to soak them overnight before cooking them, but if you soak them on a Saturday night and cook them on a Sunday morning, you'll have enough to use for your meals during the week.
This recipe was very easy and absolutely fantastic. 1. 2. 3. 4. The Vegan Stoner. Chef Chloe.
