The market is now full of protein supplements which are made either from milk, egg or soy. If you are a vegan you can consider consuming those protein supplements which are made from soy. If you are more into considering the natural sources, then also you have a number of choices. Beans, lentils and legumes are one of the richest sources of proteins. As a vegetarian protein source, black beans, kidney beans, chili, split pea and chickpea hummus also do wonder.

Those who have a special liking for a natural vegetarian protein source, they can also consider including nuts, seeds and nut butter in their regular diet. Almonds and walnuts are very good sources if you want easy results. You can also go for soy nut butter or cashew nut butter. If you are one who can’t resist on gulping those fast foods, they can have a veggie burger as a meat substitute. Among other rich natural protein items, mention may especially be made of oatmeal, bagel, slices of whole wheat bread, milk, baked beans, tofu, cooked broccoli, whole wheat toast, yogurt, quinoa, rye, wheat germ, wheat, wild rice, banana, cantaloupe, pineapple, strawberry, tangerine, watermelon, grape, grapefruit, honeydew melon, orange, papaya, peach, pear etc.

Getting into the shape is not just an easy task. But you can make it easier if you stick to a strict diet and exercise plan. And when it comes to diets, taking protein is just too important.

If you want to be added to the list, leave a comment below with your @username. I will update the list below weekly with the new suggestions.

From now on i will be referring to this list for follow friday, as i think listing every person individually on Twitter, is kind of annoying. Plus as you can see the list is quite long.

Not on Twitter, yet? Grab a copy of my awesome twitter guide…a beginner’s guide.

Vegetarians And Vegans On Twitter is from groovy vegetarian

I was born in Chicago, IL but both my parents are from Puerto Rico. One thing i remember about my mom’s cooking is rice, beans, and a host of yummy root vegetables from PR.

Which root vegetables?

Yuca a/k/a Cassava, then there are green plantains, batata, yautia, llame and a host of others. All yummy healthy and 100% vegetarian.

I want to get a resource page going on the different vegetables and fruits from Puerto Rico, complete with nutrition details. I have to admit i will have to do research on this, as i have lost touch with my roots and don’t know. Yes, I deserve a wet noodle beating for this disregard.

Call For Your Puerto Rican Food Stories or Tips

Please chime in and contribute your ideas, tips, and ingredient list of foods and recipes native to the Isla.

I found a really neat video on VegFamily (that peepchick created) and it is a montage of vegans past and present. On it were several African American vegan celebrities, including Dr Dre, Brandy, Rosa Parks, Coretta Scott King, rapper Andre, and purple bad arse himself Prince.

The video also has music by one of my faves, Johnny Mayer, can’t wait to see John in concert. Do watch the video, and see how many faces you recognize. As i watched it, there were a few notables i did not know were veg, such as Jerry Seinfeld. See how many you can pick out.

There are many more black vegheads than what is profiled in the video above, feel free to point out additional African American vegan and vegetarians below in the comments section. Thanxs!
