    I really like VEGA protein powder! It is all plant based and can be mixed into smoothies with kale, banana, berries and some almond milk! Spirulina is also a great source of protein.

    I've been a vegan 3 years now. Don't worry about protein. You don't need nearly as much as you think.
    That said, beans, rice, potatoes, and whole wheat are great sources. Look up potatostrong.com

    Protein is the most important macronutrient for muscle growth and retention. Many people could probably benefit from more than they get, particularly if active or in a caloric deficit. Rice and potatoes have a pretty low protein content for the calories.

    Like look. I'm a soccer player. I'm the goal keeper and need too keep up to my nutrients as well.
