Protein Shakes
If you're tempted by those rows of fancy-looking dairy and egg-based protein powders sold at your gym, try a vegan version! Well-stocked natural-foods stores sell a variety of naturally vegan protein powders that you can add to a smoothie for all your muscle-building needs. Look for hemp protein powder or flax-meal blends and don't be afraid of the green proteins—some of them are quite tasty!
