Post by Olivia Blodgett, Registered Dietitian
I work with a lot of vegan clients who want to know if they are meeting their protein needs.

Breakfast in particular, tends to be an area that could use a little protein boost but it can be difficult to figure out how. Here are a few of my favorite vegan breakfasts that will start your day off with a good source of protein to keep your energy level sustained throughout the first part of your day.
