In this episode, we talk about hitting your protein goals on a budget as money is tight with the holidays coming up. We introduce a new interactive protein database that features over 200 vegan protein sources, sortable by cost, protein content, and other criteria. We also discuss the latest news, including Miyoko's Creamery's potential comeback and a new sunflower-based meat substitute from Brazil. Finally, we break down some of the cheapest and most expensive protein sources and bust the myth of needing to eat only complete protein sources.
