- 08/13/08: What’s for lunch; Habichuelas Rosadas (Pink Beans) sauteed with veggies
Remember those beans I soaked overnight? Well my daughter and I just got finished eating this meal. It was delicious the pink beans (also known as Habichuelas Rosadas or chili beans) have a meaty texture and are a truly delightful companion for this dish of produce that came from the garden. What’s included yellow onion, tomato, and yellow squash. The vegetables were picked from the garden this morning.
This was a simple recipe and eventually I’ll add to The Raw & The Cooked. Once the dry beans had been cooked this meal was ready in less than ten minutes. When I don’t have time to prepare dry beans I make a huge pot of them and freeze the cooked beans to use in a variety of dishes at a later date.
Where do vegans get their protein? Beans are one way that we receive protein. It gives you about 15g per 8 oz. serving I usually add qunioa (considered a grain, and a relative to spinach it’s a amino acid rich potein) to this dish but I decided not to.
Two new categories
I’ve created two new categories What’s for lunch? and Where do vegans get their protein? Although TTLOVE218 doesn’t know it, she inspired me to create the latter. TTLOVE218, is vegan, and commented on the subject of protein in my post Who needs the gym when you…
Here is a list of beans and their source of proteins taken from the USDA nutrition database. Beans aren’t the only source of protein for vegans and to be honest I don’t always eat them on a weekly basis. There are so many other options. More to follow on the subject of protein in later posts.
Protein is a topic I really don’t write about. I know my needs are being met as a vegan and a bodybuilder (upcoming figure competitor.) No, I don’t need an excessive amount to receive muscle gains. My protein needs are being met as a whole food vegan; however, there is still a lot of misinformation out there. I’ll make an effort to post more about this topic and others related to veganism.
Thanks for the inspiration, TTLOVE218.

Sounds delish! I love things like this. As a vegetarian, beans, nuts, seeds, nut butters, and eggs make up my protein - as well as things like eggplant. ;-)

Oh my! ;;) I am very happy to see this! I would LOVE to see how you eat on a daily basis. It is sad to see how many people fall into the mega protein trap when trying to lose weight or build muscle. I have read how you say that you don’t eat loads of protein but still have cuts and definition and that is what I want to do to. I do try to include legumes into my diet everyday but I am always trying to figure out if they are more carb than protein because I am trying to lose weight. I have been known to over-evaluate things so I am trying to just eat simple easy meals right now, but of course I want to get proper nutrition and without taking supplements. Thanks for all of the valuable information!

Wow a Vegan figure competitor…. well done to you…. you show the world :)
I am happy with my moderate exercise…. ran 4 miles in 28 mins today and that was good enough for me.
As for protein I am still worried I don’t get enough. I am not vegan, just vege (although the difficulty of getting real freerange eggs is killing me) for now.
I am trying to introduce new grains and pulses into my diet. I recently had a grain much like rice that was regrown after being found preserved in an Egyptian tomb…. if I remember the name or if you know it let me know! It was very yummy and apparently super healthy.
