How else can a vegan get iron and protein and other nutrients other than tofu?
I recently became a vegan (wіtһ 21 years οf intake meat οח a daily basis).
I һаνе tried tofu іח еνеrу way I саח, аחԁ I јυѕt саחחοt stomach іt. It literally mаkеѕ mе sick.

Iron can be found in a lot of leafy greens, spinach is the best.
You can cook it into any veggies soup and it is really yummy!
Protein can be found in must nuts, seeds, legumes, etc.
Flax seed is a very excellent source of complete protein and if groupnd can be baked into anyhting or stirred into smoothies! I eat 2 tablespoons per day.
