Vegetarian protein

[akgirl]

My 19 year old is scheduled for a sleeve procedure this December. I’m looking for vegetarian protein ideas for after surgery-when she can eat regular foods. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. She is a college student but lives off campus, has full access to a kitchen.

There are lots of great plant based proteins. Beans, nuts, seeds and dark leafy greens, broccoli, avocado, etc. Hemp seed is very versatile and can be included with most meals very easily.

My favorite thing to eat right now (pre-op) is spinach mixed with a touch of coconut oil and lightly salted with avocado and some type of nut or seed.
