There is protein in most all veggies, grains, fruit, nuts and seeds. Check out

these two websites for lots of great info on protein in different vegetarian

foods.

Re: Welcome, Nancy, and some ideas

 

Hi Zelda,

 

Is your granbaby Raine a vegan baby? If so I am curious about what

foods are being given for protein. I have a one year old son, and I

am raising him vegetarian, as I am, but I am ever concerned about if

I am feeding him protein adequately! He does eat a huge variety of

foods that I would suspect some babies wouldn't like so I know what

you mean. But I am just curious, I never know if he is getting enough

protein??

 

Thanks!~Danielle

Pacifica, a little coastal town, there is a wonderful Farmers Market

that carries a lot of local organically grown produce. It is

always fresh and lovely and we buy most of our produce and a lot of

other items there. Also we are organic gardeners and have a nice

yard with apple trees and herbs and things. I am always very proud

of my beautiful homemade applesauce which is organic and my apples

are so sweet I don't even use any sweetener. My Grandchildren all

love it. Baby Raine, who is 1 year old, has never had any other

applesauce.

all fast enough. I joined to learn tips on how to cook for my

vegan Son-in-law. He thinks he has died and gone to heaven

(LOL). Even baby Raine loves the stuff I make for Papa.

cabbage, all kinds of sprouts made in her Papa's " kitchen garden " ,

all sorts of veggies and greens, beets. I have to laugh at her very

interesting diet. And all those raw and vegan things are very high

in nutrients according to my SIL. We are all trying new things

since he became a vegan.
