  1. 1c soy milk 3c water 3 bananas 2c beans of some sort 1/4c pumpkin seed 1 scoop plantfusion protein powder creatine 1t amla powder 2T flax seed I also have a smaller shake during the day which is just Tru Food with a bit of milk and water and maybe some other things.
  2. My favorite protein powder (in fact the ONLY one I've liked) has been Now Sports Pea Protein. I tried some hemp ones, i think a brown rice one, and some others, but couldn't really stand the flavor or texture. The ns pea protein has a smoother texture, adds a thickness to the drink, and what little flavor it has is fairly pleasant. That said, I'm not using any protein powder nowadays. From what I've read you really don't need as much protein to gain muscle mass as some people in the weight lifting arena say you do. That and I'm concerned about the long term consequences of excess protein intake, particularly the strain it puts on your liver and kidneys (here's an interesting video on the subject: )
  3. I'm actually considering buying a dehydrator to make tempeh. I can't really imagine using it for anything else because I buy raisins and dried figs and freeze any extra fruit that I have. The idea of using one to make tempeh, however, is a novel one (typically water incubators are uses) that I ran across somewhere and sounds like a great idea.
  4. Hi, guys. First time posting. Long time vegan but new to weightlifting. Only recently starting counting calories because I think I was under-eating. I've settled into a diet regimen of sorts and would appreciate any advice for improving it. Breakfast Oatmeal, 50/50 oat & qunioa porridge, or shredded wheat with almond or soy milk. (300-400 calories) Second Meal 2 Cups cooked pasta with nutritional yeast, sometimes with vegetables as well (500-600 calories) Third Meal 2 Cups cooked beans (black, pinto, chickpea, etc), with some kind of vegetable mixed in (500-600) Weight Gainer Shake: 1-2 bananas (100-200cal), 1.5 cup red lentils (345), veg milk (60-130), frozen fruit (50), occasionally pea protein powder (120) =555-845 Plus at least 500 calories of peanuts a day, sometimes processed together with raisins or other dried fruit or in the form of peanut butter, sometimes just pb&j sandwiches =2355-2945 calories I was pretty intimidated the first time I sat down to eat a bowl filled with two cups of black beans. Thought I wouldn't be able to down it all, but it wasn't bad at all Need to get some more greens in there when I can, though
