So my girlfriend convinced me to go Vegan for a few months, and I am struggling to find foods that are good sources of protein. I am used to eating grilled chicken.
So it seems that rice and beans are a great combo. But I hate beans and so does my body. So I read online that peas are a good source of protein. Infact lots of vegan protein powders use pea protein. So I figure combining pea protein and brown rice would make for a good source for a complete protein, yes?
But there are so many pea types out there. Surely they all don't have good protein profiles.
I am confused as to which pea provides the best protein, and I'm not getting lots of specific information on pea varieties and their protein content online.
A) Which one would be best? Green peas? Garden peas? Sweet peas? Black eyed peas? Split peas?
B) Also, am I barking up the wrong tree by going for brown rice and peas as a good protein source? Are there better vegan protein sources? Keep in mind, I hate beans, and am wary of soy. I don't much like the taste of Quinoa either.
