About The High Protein Vegan Cookbook: But Where Do You Get Your Protein? by Jeremy Pinch
From the author:
“Years ago I never cared too much for protein in my diet, I didn’t see it as that necessary, I wasn’t an athlete then and I just focused on taste more than anything. Which is fine as long as you are aware of the nutrients you need to ensure you’re healthy and thriving.
I find many new vegans and veterans do take more care when it comes to what they put into their bodies, but I did find that protein was deemed unnecessary, this could be due to protein usually being derived from animal products and such an emphasis in the marketplace to get protein. Plant based folks are usually a little more anti mainstream. So I can see why many rejected the myth that we need high levels of protein, I do tend to somewhat agree.
But it really depends on the individual’s goals, if your goal is to build muscles and live a muscular based fitness lifestyle, protein is necessary. How much and from what sources tends to turn political and often there is no true answer.”
“But Where Do You Get Your Protein…?”
If you have been plant-based or vegan for more than a week, you have likely heard this question. Maybe it’s entertaining to you or frustrating to have people ask you this, in some ways, foolish question.
I get my protein from food just like you.
I get it the same way giant powerful herbivores get it.
I get it from Tofu, legumes, isolates…
So, we can agree most people believe you can only get protein from animal products, call it conditioning or ignorance. But this is likely to the fact many animal products are high in Protein. However, that doesn’t mean plant-based foods are not.
But of course, cutting out high-protein foods very well may mean it’s harder to consume protein on a vegan diet.
Well, it’s harder until you educate yourself and build the new habits around eating that ensure you are hitting your protein targets.
In this book, you will have 60 high protein recipes that can help you achieve this goal, not only that we have focused on the right macro profile to which it is realistic to eat these recipes and not mess with your stated calorie goal.

Author Bio:
I’m Jeremy Pinch, and apart from my passion for animals and the environment, I’m all about crafting dishes that weren’t thought possible.
I’ve been a Chef for over 10 years, and I have to confess that I’m addicted to seeing people’s reactions when they try my food for the first time.
But over the years, I’ve understood that taste preferences vary enormously from person to person. So I’ve made it my mission to create plant-based cuisine that everyone can enjoy. And I mean EVERYONE, not just the vegans out there.
You will see my recipes stretching over a wide range of the culinary spectrum, and that is no coincidence. I’ve travelled, and tasted the flavors of the world. And now I’m bringing it all back to you!
