Vegans who have protein powders...
Just wondering how many vegans here have protein powders. I used to have them before I became vegan, not that they did much good (or i wasn't using them right?). I just wanted some opinions from people who do use protein powders, what they use and how they get the most out of them. THanks :love:

Advice from vegetarians/vegans

So I've recently become vegetarian...today is my 7th day. Tonight mum made fried rice, she said she was gonna put some aside without meat but didn't. She said 'you can just pick it out'...

Putting weight back on:(
