Plant eaters don't get enough protein, the classic question right? Well, my friend, it's not true (wow didn't expect that XD). Aside from beans and tofu etc, did you know about PULLED OATS? These babies contain 30g(!) of protein per serving, so my dude, if you want to boost your protein intake, this got you covered! Served with other protein rich veggies like broccoli, green beans and black rice, this makes a delicious meal!
