Carbohydrate 101

Carbohydrates are one of three macronutrients: carbohydrates, protein, and fat. They contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. Carbohydrates provide most of the energy needed in our daily lives for normal body functions such as heartbeat, breathing, and digestion and for physical activity and exercise.

Here is a chart of common sources of protein, both animal and plant. I think you’ll find a few surprises. Did you know that plant protein is lower in calories and higher in fiber? It’s also (usually) lower in cost.

Don’t miss the printable PDF handout on protein comparisons — as well as the original excel file for any changes you might want to make.

Vegan Taco

Tempeh has come a long way since its earliest days of being compressed fermented soybeans. You can find artisan types made with all kinds of legumes and seeds. Once it is fried in a pan, it tastes like a rich, umami-laced, mushroom "scrapple" and takes on the flavors of any dish. This taco bursts with flavors from spicy to acid to umami.
