Sources of vegan protein

I get asked quite often how I get my protein as a vegan (raw vegan). First of all, if your diet is diversified enough, you’ll get plenty of protein from the foods that you eat, but if you also work out and you want to add extra protein, here are the sources that I’ve tried.

In the order they appear in the video, these sources of vegan and raw vegan protein are:

Standard

Ligia made a delicious pate in this episode of Ligia’s Kitchen, which you can spread on raw bread or you can devour as a veggie dip (which is what we did at the end).

It’s quick and easy to make (just blend the ingredients together) and super-delicious, so we hope you’ll try it at home!

In episode 14 of Ligia’s Kitchen, Ligia makes a nutritious spring sprout salad — just the thing to get us nourished after a cold winter.

English subtitles are available on YouTube (toggle them on/off with the CC button).

It’s the 10th episode of Ligia’s Kitchen! Our show’s already been viewed over 20,000 times, and the views just keep coming. Considering that it’s in Romanian (not English), and there’s plenty of competition from the American market, I think that’s really good!

This week’s recipe is a raw winter salad with (of course) raw mayonnaise. It’s easy to make, and its ingredients are easy to find during winter in just about any supermarket. Enjoy!

My wife and I are raw vegans. We eat a 60-75% raw vegan diet, supplemented with some cooked foods. The recommended ratio is 75% raw / 25% cooked.

We’ve been planning these past several months to put together a raw vegan cooking show, which will show people how to change their diets and lifestyles so they can live longer, healthier, more peaceful lives. Today, I’m happy to say it’s become a reality. Ligia’s new show, entitled “Ligia’s Kitchen“, is live!

This summer, we renovated the spaces where we film the show, I built the new kitchen furniture (more on that later), and last week, we were finally able to start filming. Here’s the first episode, just released today.

We’re filming and releasing in HD, which should really help you see what Ligia’s doing as she prepares each recipe. Even though the show’s in Romanian, we’re providing English subtitles for everyone who speaks it (which should be a LOT of people). If there’s enough demand for another language, we’ll do our best to provide subtitles for it as well.

Enjoy!
