When working out it is important to consume adequate amounts of protein for muscle growth and recovery. Often times individuals who are vegan tend to get confused as to what foods are a good source of protein that are not animal products. Well, in fact, there are multiple sources of non-animal foods that contain high amounts of good quality protein. The most important consideration when it comes to eating vegan sources of protein is to ensure that you are consuming all 9 essential amino acids throughout the day.
