how to get protein from vegetables

Protein is not just in animals but vegetables as well.  

We tend to focus on animal derived protein, so vary your proteins and Eat Your Vegetables!

Proteins are a type of molecule found throughout your body…in your skin, bones, muscles, hair, organs, eyes, and even your fingernails. In fact, protein is an incredibly abundant substance in your body — it’s second only to water. It’s one of the most essential nutrients and it’s required for your survival.
