I need vegetarian protein!
I'm vegetarian and in dire need of more protein in my diet. I don't really like processed veggie meals like Morningstar or Boca. I lean toward a more 'raw diet' way of thinking, but I don't eat 100% raw by any means. Any ideas? I'm at a loss. I know raw almonds have protein and I eat those quite often. Help?
