Hi:
I am respectful of your choice to lead a life as a Vegan.
Is there anyway you could get your proteins by eating them ? Like pulses (beans, lentils), quinoa, tofu, edamame, garbanzos ?
Any processed protein will cost you money. You told us you are a student.
If you can eat fish, try to cook it yourself.
Good luck in your journey to a healthy life.0 -
yeah i can have gluten
and its pulsin, everyone said that was the best one. might look into some protein bar recipes.
And to the ignorant guy who assumes i cant eat nutritionally on a vegan diet you have no idea how wrong you are. please tell me what nutrients im apparently missing. because the 2 blood tests are get a year are failing to.
Who said you can't eat a nutritious vegan diet? Besides, you aren't on a vegan diet. You eat fish.
If you're trying to become healthy by attempting to go vegan, stop now. You can do better by eating a balanced diet that includes dairy, fish and eggs. It's also a lot easier to get the protein you need.
If you're trying to become vegan for moral reasons, I'm confused as to why eating an unfertilized egg or drinking milk is worse than killing fish.0 -
I added it to veggie broth and made a soup. A few spices, and it almost tastes like split pea. Throw in some orzo and spinach, and you've got a really decent vegan meal with plenty of protein.0

Even though I didn't post it....I'll jump in........How are you getting your BCAAs? How much protein are you getting per day currently? How many calories are you eating per day? What exactly are you expecting the blood tests to tell you? What are they testing exactly......There are lots of unhealthy/malnourished people that get good screeens from bloodtests......not saying you are one of them.
I get all my 9 needed amino acids from plant sources, you just have to have a varied diet, normally eating 30-40g of protein a day and 1200-1400 calories, im not complaining that i dont get enough protein, i was just looking for recipes but everyone likes to always jump in and be like "you need more protein else blah blah blah" get blood tests for all the main vitamins, b12, calcium, haemoglobin, some other ones that i dont really remember and too lazy to look. I dont have any problems and i'm as healthy as ever0 -
Got to be honest, personally I gave up on the idea of using pea protein. It make whatever I added it to foul and makes wheatgrass shots taste like heaven in comparison. I'm willing to give it another try if anyone posts an easy go-to recipe they swear by.0

your sarcastic comment of "good luck with your nutrition goals" did.
Im not attempting to go vegan. I could, and i had for a year but i chose not to. and eating eggs and milk is worse than seafood as youre having to torture the cows and chickens which is a lot worse than killing fish or other seafood. And i get enough protein i just wanted ways to use up pea protein0 -
IF YOU LIKE CHOCOLATE, USE SOME HERSHEY'S BITTER COCOA MIXED WITH HOT WATER, ADD THAT TO YOUR SHAKE AND A LITTLE SPLENDA (IF YOU USE IT,OR ANOTHER NICE SWEETENER, OR EVEN SUGAR). THAT WILL MAKE IT A LITTLE MORE DRINKABLE, I DO THAT TO ALL SHAKES CAUSE THEY ARE ALL NASTY.0

Ah, yes. I could try and help but you seem unduly angry.

For easiness I use the Vega protein powders. They are vegan if I am correct. I believe no whey as well. Vega is pricy but well worth it and taste amazing. Sweetened w stevia.
Everyday breakfast smoothie I use Vega Energizing Smoothie Chocolate. 11g protein. Plus it has a lot of nutrients as well!
Post workout It's Vega sports Preformance. 24g protein. It protein packed but without all the other stuff that the energizing smoothie has like flax, inulin...I am just now incorporating the sports preformance into my routine....I think I will make a large smoothie use both pre n post work out..
1scp vega sports
2c almond milk chocolate unsweetened
1-2 scoops amazing grass chocolate
1/2-1 frozen banana
1T chia
1T flax meal
Pinch salt
2T liquid calcium
Ice
Good Luck!
Ps, since vega is plant based protein I have a little issue w bloating. However, I have started drinking a lot more water which is helping. The benefits far out weight the gas by far IMO.0 -

Chickens lay eggs naturally - how are they being tortured????
Milking a cow is not torture to a cow - its been done for centuries.
Killing a fish - the fish is now DEAD. Not living, not able to be food again. How is natural laying of eggs, simple milking of a cow worse than KILLING??
You said 30-40g of protien a day. Thats is not enough to be honest, but if it works for you.... great to hear! If you are really set about not going the Whey route then I'd suggest you mix your Pea Protein in foods such as soup. Or you can juice; add Pea Protein to carrot/apple juice w/ a teaspoon of lemon juice. It should knock out the "dirt" taste.0 -

because unless you live on a farm and have your own cows and chickens things arent that simple. Animals are kept in horrid conditions and such things which id rather not go into on this post, not to mention that for cows to give milk they have to be impregnated and what happens to the calf then?0 -

this made me giggle. I don't know how it works in America but here in England we do not torture our chickens, they lay eggs every day all by themselves !! Haha... and milking a cow does not stand up to the torture claim either I'm afraid. There are some crazy chicks on here who have real issues with 'food'0 -

You make very simple things way too complex. And seem to have an excuse for everything.
So heres the simple advice: Either go with Whey or find ways to mix the Pea Protein in different foods/drinks to rid the dirt taste! Called trial and error - soon you'll find a good blend.

buy organic then. You seem kind of confused. If you morally object to taking an egg or milk from a cow... why don't you object to hooking a fish and eating it's flesh?0 -

that was all i was asking for, just some recipes!! not a lecture on things totally not related to this conversation.

Generally females are reared for milking........males are raised for beef or veal (as well as wallets, belts, boots, etc)0
