Where Would I Get My Protein?

No one cares about your protein intake until you become vegan. It’s true! Even when I tell people that a) nearly everything has some protein; b) I get protein from several sources but the majority from beans, nuts, seeds, and leafy greens; and c) my muscles haven’t atrophied so I must be doing something right, they still think vegans are lacking in protein. Well, I have news for you: There is protein in every recipe in this book (some more than others). This chapter is focused specifically on protein—found where you’d least expect it.
