Quinoa has 22.3 grams of protein for 1 cup

What other vegan protein can give me more than that?

Um... Quinoa has 8g of protein per cup. 1 cup of uncooked quinoa has 24g.

Hey guys I've tried being vegetarian before but it only lasted for two months, I still live with my parents and my mom wouldn't let me to not eat meat. Then I started being pescetarian, faux-vegetarian that eats fish only but not any other meat. Lasted for 1 week, then I started being semi-vegetarian (my diet consists of mainly vegetables and fruits but I still eat meat occasionally) My diet is like 70% vegetables & fruits, and 30% meat. I can't give up eating meat altogether, I guess it just doesn't work for my body/I'm not educated enough about it. I'm fine being what I am now though.

try buying quinoa in bulk of 10kg or something like that, it should be cheaper. that's what i'd do when I finish with my 500g bags of quinoa I still have. I'm not entirely a vegan and I only have a vegan meal at least just once a day. So a 500g bag of quinoa would last me the whole week.

If you want easy vegan proteins, your best bet is probably just beans and lentils. Get the split lentils, it's cooked in under 10 minutes, which is crazy cos other regular legumes would take easily 3-4 hours to cook. I usually have 2 cups of cooked lentils per meal, which should have roughly 35-40 g of proteins.

someone mentioned seitan just now. wow, it is soooo dense in proteins. how come I didn't know about this??? I should probably look into it. It has more proteins than chicken.

Having been a vegetarian for over five years already and contemplating veganism for the longest time, I just want to know what's tea re: Starbucks drinks and vegan alternatives to cheese made from actual dairy. They're the only things I'd really miss if I were to go vegan.

Starbucks do soy milk so most of the drinks can be made vegan, you obviously can't have the cream or the white chocolate drinks. If you google "starbucks vegan drinks" you'll get a ton of websites confirming what drinks can be made vegan as I believe it's different in different countries!

You can also get vegan cheese from most big stores, but again that depends on where you live too

I usually get soy milk anyway, but I know there are some finer details within certain drinks that stop it from being wholly vegan. I'll do some real research this weekend!

I've never seen it at my local supermarkets, but, once again, I shall do a little more research.

I live in Birmingham in the UK if this is any help.

Thanks by the way!

I noticed a few typos but didn't want to call you out in the thread because it's going to invoke some negative backlash anyway, sadly. For example, you say "cows drink milk".



But it's an interesting read! I'm assuming some of the "This is..." points should have links?

omg on literally the first point too! I'm gonna have another proofread now - thank you so much.

They should! But as I began to link every single reason I realised it'd take forever, so decided to place all the sources at the bottom.

I just googled the vegan Starbucks options, can one of my UK sisters tell me if stuff like a vanilla latte with soy/coconut milk would be vegan? Am seeing conflicting statements.

Yeah it's vegan as long as you don't have cow's milk. The vanilla syrup in it is vegan
