2009-11-14 Marissa Lippert: Going Vegetarian: Plain, Simple And Sane

Surprisingly, vegetarians have a range of protein options. Aside from fish, eggs and dairy products like milk, yogurt and cheese, dont forget about beans and legumes, quinoa, nuts and nut butters, tofu, edamame, soy milk, soy yogurt and cheese, and tempeh (fermented soybeans) and seitan (protein from wheat gluten). Yes, its true that animal-sources of protein are complete proteins and contain all the essential amino acids our bodies need. You can do just fine however, with a varied vegetarian diet that incorporates protein, complex carbs and healthy fats. And keep in mind that soybeans (tofu, soy milk etc. ) and quinoa are actually two plant-sources of complete protein. Id recommend being cautious around more processed forms of vegetarian or soy protein. Your body tends to do best with foods that are fewest in ingredients
