How to Get Enough Protein as a Vegetarian

As a vegetarian or plant-based eater, you might struggle or feel overwhelmed with how to get enough protein.

You may have even gotten questions from your non-vegetarian friends and family:

“But how are you getting protein?!”

The good news is:

It’s easier than you think 😉

Are You Getting Enough Protein?

Do you ever wonder if you’re getting enough protein?

Your fitness app says you need 150 grams of protein, your trainer says you need at least 50 grams of protein per meal, and other countries say you need only 50 grams per day…

How confusing!

Thanks to the bodybuilding community at large, there’s been an increase in pressure to eat enough protein to put on lean muscle.

But are those recommendations too high?

And what if you’re a vegetarian or vegan? You might be finding it hard to reach those high protein recommendations.

Is Self-Care a Daily Routine for You? Forms of Self-Love + Valentine’s Day Recipes

So we created our own tradition of curling up by the fire with a warming and comforting dinner and good conversation. And this year, an episode of This is Us.

But whether you celebrate with your loved one, your friends, or spend it at home with much-needed R&R, Valentine’s Day is also about self-love and self-care.
