Going vegan is one of the fastest-growing food trends — and we don't see it being a short-lived fad. A vegan diet is not only good for our bodies, but also animal welfare and Mother Earth. Still, many believe that being vegan means subsisting on lettuce and that it therefore lacks nutrition, especially protein.
