The first question non-vegans usually ask is: "How do you get enough protein?" I understand their concern, prior to becoming a vegan I had no idea that grains and veggies contain protein. Now I know better and can assure people that I get protein lots of different ways, but even I was excited to count up the protein grams in my dinner tonight. I had a can of vegetable barley soup, which did contain beans now that I think of it, but I got 12 grams of protein there. Then I made Pillsbury breadsticks, the kind that pop out of a can and you bake them, with 2 grams of protein each and I ate 4 of them! Viola! 20 grams of protein...now really who would have thought I could get all that from some vegetable soup and breadsticks without tossing in some tofu somewhere? I was thrilled, yum!
