The right to protein

In fact, if you are eating a wide variety of plant-based foods from pulses, lentils, beans, nuts, seeds and protein-rich vegetables, you are doing your body a whole deal of good. For non-vegetarians, supplementing with fatty fish like salmon, eggs (any style) or organic chicken or cottage cheese can help you meet your daily quota for protein. For plant-based counterparts, you can look at soy (tempeh, tofu, edamame), lentils, beans, seeds, nuts and some vegetables. Other sources of vegan protein include almonds, peanuts, pulses, beans and hemp seeds.
