    Recently discovered the Quorn brand....its good. Their products use mycoprotein (as in various mushrooms). No Soy.

    I think Quorn is kind of scary. It is a highly processed food And many get allergic reaction from it. Google it to find out how it is made and what it consists of. I don't eat meat and I used to eat a lot of quorn but stopped about 5-6 years ago after reading up on it.

    I've been a vegetarian all my life, so I don't usually have trouble getting enough protein, however... my new (medically prescribed) diet calls for 95 grams of protein a day on 1500 calories. I do eat dairy and eggs, but I can't do any of the "fake meats" because they mostly add B12 which I'm allergic to.
    I'm going to look for protein powders that don't have B12, but any ideas for adding additional veg protein would be helpful. Miso, TVP, Chick Pea flour... inventive suggestions needed!
    Thanks!
