Protein Sources for vegans

This is one of the more common questions that I am asked, how do you get your protein? Well folks, it's super easy! And for the record, protein deficiency is virtually unheard of in America, we're just taught 'protein, protein, protein' which of course protein is necessary but we never really have a shortage of it. Recently it's been proven that too much animal protein causes everything from cancer to high blood pressure to blood clotting (there is more and I'm sure I'll have another blog post on here in the future but this is it for this second)

Note from website:

One excellent ingredient to look for is hemp seed protein. Hemp seed is an nutritious dietary source of easily digestible gluten-free protein. It provides a well-balanced array of all the amino acids, including 34.6 grams of protein for each 100 grams. The fatty acid profile of the hemp seed is extremely beneficial, containing omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids in a virtually ideal ratio. Other beneficial aspects of hemp seed include a strongly favorable unsaturated-to-saturated fat ratio; a high content of antioxidants; and a wide variety of vitamins and minerals
