There are many ways to get protein a vegan diet. The first thing that many people don't realize is the amount of protein there is out there. Protein is found in many foods that the general population doesn't even know about. A fear that is blown out of proportion is the fact that we don't get enough protein on a daily basis. This is not true. Many people get a lot more protein than they think. In fact, millions of people in the United States get too much protein without even knowing it.

My preference for soy milk is a brand called SILK, and instead of plain old Soy Milk we use their Vanilla flavored Soy Milk for our smoothies. At our house we have many berries growing wild all over the place, and we collect these blackberries well into August and freeze them. These make a great base for a Soy Milk based smoothie. We also use frozen mixed fruit with berries that we find at the grocery store. Even though it is not hand picked and frozen on site, these bags of fruits are still a good source of fruit to use for the base of your Soy Milk Smoothies.

I enjoy trying new drinks. Nearly every time I go to the grocery store, I check out the juice section to see if anything catches my eye. Last week, it was Odwalla's Chocoloate Protein Monster protein shake that grabbed my attention. With a name like Chocolate Protein Monster, how could I say no? Well I grabbed a bottle and I have to say that it is a great drink.

The Taste

Although my family tried to keep healthy and vegetarian whenever possible, I find it hard to skip out on breaded chicken sandwiches. The Boca Company has been around for over ten years now and many people delight in eating a Boca Burger instead of a traditional high calorie/cholesterol meat hamburger. It has grown with such positive popularity that Boca is now being offered in restaurants around the nation. So, it was no surprise that Boca has come out with Boca Meatless Chik'n Patties.
