Wow, my husband and I decided this must be the MOST asked question that we get! We get our protein from a LOT of sources! We eat a lot of different types of beans, for one. That includes the mighty soy bean, which may be nature's most versatile food. Soy is the basis for tofu and tempeh, which is a course substitute for different meat-based recipes. I use soy for everything from breakfast to desserts. We also eat nuts and seeds in different forms such as peanut butter. Wheat gluten is the basis for seitan, another great substitute for meat that is high in protein. You can get wheat gluten in the organic section of the grocery or in bulk at a local co-op or health food store. Many prepackaged foods are loaded with protein such as veggie burgers and veggie dogs. Something that always helps me is referring back to the vegan food pyramid. It is clearly different from the SAD (Standard American Diet).
