I get this question all the time: can you get enough protein if you’re on a plant-based diet?

I’m excited to be discussing this question on this episode, and addressing a lot of the confusion around vegan and vegetarian diets, as well as explaining why we don’t need to be consuming high-protein diets.

A lot of people avoid going plant-based because they’re nervous about getting enough protein! I’m going to share with you my favorite protein sources, show you eye-opening research on the topic, and explain why a plant-based diet is effective in providing you with (more than) enough protein.
