Not only do vegetables, beans, and lentils have heaps of protein in them, they’re also superior to animal-based protein sources. Who needs saturated fat, cholesterol, antibiotics, hormones and bad karma when you can eat plants loaded with antioxidants, phytochemicals, vitamins, minerals and good vibes? These foods not only don’t increase your risk of developing cancer and disease, as meat does, but actually can lower it.
Everyone should be eating lots of beans, seeds, nuts, and vegetables because these are the foods that give you energy and glowing skin and protect you from disease. The key is to include lots of different sources, you can cook in batches and freeze what you don't eat, in this way you always have a meal available at times when you don't feel like cooking. You can make a casserole easy enough, or make meatfree alternatives for your favourite dishes.
When we’re eating enough of the good stuff, there’s just no need for unhealthy animal proteins in our diet. At the very least, you could have meat free days on a weekly basis, just to test how you would feel on adopting this type of lifestyle. If it works out consider making a longer commitment, you may never look back.
