What are some good sources of protein besides beans and protein shakes/bars in a vegetarian diet?
Beans and nuts are terrific. Quinoa. Get a variety of vegetables and grains each and every day. Protein is made of amino acids and all plants contain some of them. Meat contains all of them. But so does quinoa. Quinoa contains all of the amino acids and make up a complete protein. When you eat different types of vegetables or grains through the course of a day, the amino acids in each type of veggie is utilized by your body to make up the protein you need. http://www.vrg.org/nutrition/protein.htm http://www.webmd.
