We joke today that there are three things that plant-based eaters must face – Death, Taxes, and Where Do You Get Your Protein?! Well, today, we tackle the ever-popular topic of protein with two of the authors of a recent book, Plant-Powered Protein.
Vesanto Melina, along with Cory Davis dispel so many of the myths and misconceptions about plant-based protein – and – make the science understandable and digestible.
Let’s put to rest that you can’t get enough protein at various stages of life including pregnancy, infancy, childhood, adulthood, your senior years, and even for the athlete population.
You can get plenty of protein and this book shows you how with easy-to-follow protein recommendations and recipes so that you never feel deprived or deficient.
Let’s also put to rest those myths that plant protein is somehow weaker or not complete. Whole food plant-based sources of protein are not only superior to our animal sources, but also have a lighter carbon footprint and the ability to reduce the risk of chronic diseases. It’s time to eat strong food.
