Most people transition from vegetarianism to veganism, which means their end game is that they don\u2019t consume any kind of animal product or by-products from animals, which to some people can seem very difficult. \u2018Where do they get their proteins from then?\u2019 is possibly the question that first pops into mind.<\/p> <p>The answer is fairly simple, and there are several places to get healthy amounts of protein from fruits, vegetables, beans and grains. People usually assume proteins come from poultry and fish, because they are so integral in our regular, omnivorous diets. But, some people can\u2019t eat certain foods, be it moral, religious, or health reasons. And, as it so happens, one of those things that contain the most protein is meat, and it is an important part in repairing and building tissues, bones, muscles, cartilage, skin, and blood.<\/p> <p>So if you're vegan, we've rounded up some of the most potent sources of protein to chow down on.<\/p> <p><em>Bernice Ng<\/em><\/p> <p><em>Photos: Getty Images<\/em><\/p> <h2> <span>Read More:<\/span>
