    Vegan Protein

    Are we allowed protein sources like chia and hemp seeds? I use pea protein daily as well. My doctor knows nothing about vegan/raw eating and has pretty much okayed me to eat anything I normally eat. Does anyone here have some sample vegan days? Thanks so much, this community is wonderful!

    Hi, I've never tried the chia protein. But I'll look into it. I've been using OL Pea protein shakes. The vanilla is pretty good mixed w 3-4 strawberries or small apple in the blender. I just got the chocolate one but can't seem to make it very good. I tried using a dried coffee packet w a dash of vanilla extract ( had to find a REAL one w/o sugar or corn syrup added- unreal!!!??) but even with ice and 1/2 cup of almond milk it was barely enjoyable!! My problem is I'm tired of this brand I think. But I really LOVED the vanilla one for a long time.
    But there's also a pumpkin low cal organic brand protein shake I found online. I think I might get some soon...

    I guess ur best bet is making sure the ones u have are low cal & carbs and if they have the protein u should go ahead and test it. U can always get other kinds.

    Lemme know too cas I'm dieing for a change!!! Lol good luck!!

    Thanks Shannon. I love the OL Pea Protein. Brendan Brazier has his WFO in chai flavor, I figured I would half that. I don't need to add anything to it to have it taste okay. It is made with hemp protein. I had just gotten away from processed food, I hate to go back to it.

    Where is says meat: Substitute Pea Protein Powder or my favourite Sun warrior plain( no you may not use juice in it, water but you can put your allowed fruit in it- although i think it tastes bad so i put the least amt. of water possible and guzzle it. Not any protein is okay.
    see this: http://hcgcoach.com/hcgFAQ.shtml#Soy_Protein I think you have to scroll way down to Protein.

    Check out the group Vegans, Vegetarians, RAw Plant based... that CBS started for more vegan info.
    I've been at a menstrual stall for 5 days now, and just starting to come back down to where I was 5 days ago. Still hanging in there

    Just thought i'd post the notes i have relateing to protein, protein from soy and protein info for vegans.


    Protein:
    we need 8 gm protein for every 20 lbs of body weight

    ***Spread out throughout the daySoy Protein has to come from Whole soy !! Whole soy provides all essential amino acids ( like meat)



    *We Need A STEADY supply of protein daily because the body doesn't STORE protein

    Before workout: carbs are needed for strength & energy

    After workout: protein repairs muscles and builds

    Very important: Combining incomplete proteins= complete

    Combining Examples:

    *peanut & whole wheat bread
    *rice & beans

    Protein combos are very important for vegans!
