    derrill got a reaction from GreenTealael in Plant based protein   
    I drink a pretty big smoothie consisting of a small amount of frozen fruit (about a couple tablespoons of frozen banana that I pop in the freezer when they get too ripe. Then I put in 2 scoops of raw/vegan Protein powder (mostly pea protein). A scoop of that protein powder (made by Sunwarrion) is 18 grams of protein. I also put some Bariatric chewable vitamins into the blender. I think the chewable Vitamin pills have artificial berry flavor, sucrose, and other ingredients the length of my arm.

    Then around 10 am (I get up at 6) I have a juice that contains cucumbers, celery, spinach, kale, Tomato, and a little salt. We use a slow speed masticating juicer.

    At around noon I eat a couple tablespoons of raw vegetables (usually zucchini, sun dried tomatoes, raw vegan sauerkraut, basil leaves, and some pine nuts just to make it creamy). Sometimes I make a totally different purée with ingredients like avocado.

    I eat a couple teaspoons of more purée at around 3:00.

    Then another smoothie around 5:00 or 6:00 pm. That gives me 56 grams of protein plus maybe another few of protein with my purée.

    That’s it for a typical day because I’m still on the purée phase.

    I’m sure the soft food phase will continue with much of the same.

    I’ll probably do a lot of raw/vegan experimenting when I start the regular diet, keep close track of the fat.

    I don’t think anyone would gain weight on this kind of food so I’m not particularly concerned about counting calories.

    At night I crush and take my pills (Psych meds for Bipolar Disorder) and then eat two more of the vitamin tablets.

    I drink a lot of Water and herbal tea all day long.

    Good luck and I hope you become full of energy and have that raw food glow.
