Do vegetarians need meat for protein? Not true.

In this Day 17 - Part 2 episode, we continue rethinking one of the biggest food myths: that protein only comes from meat.

Today we’re looking at more plant-based protein sources, including chia seeds, oats, walnuts, hazelnuts, lentils, chickpeas, black beans, kidney beans, pecans, quinoa, macadamia nuts, spinach, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts.
