Where's the Protein?

Dear Maral,


If you have been with us since the beginning of the month, good for you for sticking with it! We hope you enjoyed all the cheesy goodness of Miyoko's Creamery's cheeses last week and are ready for the entrée! If you are just joining, welcome, and we've got you!


We often hear misinformation about plant-based diets not having enough protein. We're here to dispel that myth right here, right now! There are plenty of delicious plants packed with protein, and also so many plant-based meats. This week we're focusing on all things meat, or rather, plant-based meat. Please enjoy tips for your main event!

Renegade Foods - Plant-Based Charcuterie

Co-Founders Kalie Marder and Iona Campbell


Inspired by Iona’s time spent in Spain learning from local chefs, "we’ve spent the last 10 years finding a way to marry thoughtful dietary choices with a love of flavor and food. We removed the animals, but still rely on old world techniques such as smoking and fermentation. And we perfected our authentic flavors in a kitchen, not a lab. We invite all lovers of flavor to join us in a kitchen where there is no compromise between having a truly elevated culinary experience and supporting our planet."



Renegade Foods

One of the tastiest local, vegan, products out there, and perfect for wine country, is Renegade Food's plant-powered premium, charcuterie! Chef made in Sonoma wine country, their applewood smoked meats are influenced by the old-world flavors of Southern Europe. 


Hello, wine, cheese, and charcuterie, plant-based style! Yes, please!

Myth: Vegans cannot and do not get enough protein or essential vitamins without eating meat.


Fact: You do not need to eat red meat to get the protein and essential nutrients needed for a healthy diet. "You can get the same amounts — and in some cases even more — from poultry, fish, eggs, and nuts, and as well as by following a plant-based diet. There are also no firm studies that have shown nutritional or health advantages from eating organic or grass-fed beef." - Dr. Frank Hu, chair of the Department of Nutrition, Harvard University

Myth: Eating red meat regularly will not harm your health.


Fact: Red and processed meats do increase health risks. An accumulated body of evidence shows a clear link between high intake of red and processed meats and a higher risk for heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and premature death. Research has shown that vegetarians have 40% the cancer rate of meat-eaters.


Myth: Cows do not have feelings and are bred for the purpose of providing milk and meat for humans.


Fact: Cows are social animals. They have the ability to recognize more than 100 other cows and they form close friendships with members of their herd. Researchers report that cows grieve when their friends or family members die. Female cows must be impregnated to produce milk. Their babies, if male, are taken for veal, sold for beef, or shot shortly after they are born, and if female, taken immediately for the dairy industry.


Why choose cruelty, when we can choose compassion?
