In this episode, we’re clearing up the confusion once and for all about vegan protein! You’ll never have to stress about protein deficiency again. We’ll tackle the big myth that plant-based diets can’t provide complete proteins and show you how easy it is to meet your nutritional needs with a well-planned vegan diet. You might have heard some buzz about celebrities leaving veganism over protein concerns—well, we’re here to set the record straight.

No more worrying about mixing and matching foods to get “complete” proteins. The truth? All plant-based foods contain essential amino acids, and as long as you're eating enough calories, you're covered. We’ll also chat about how to make this work for picky eaters or those who rely on processed foods a bit too much. Plus, I’ve got an exciting announcement about my upcoming video series on vegan nutrition for kids, packed with tips to help parents feed even the fussiest eaters. Tune in, and transform the way you think about vegan protein!
