Find creative ways to add protein, other nutrients to menu

Question: My teenage daughter has become a vegan and won't eat any animal products, including meat, seafood, eggs and dairy. What strategies can I use to make sure she's getting the protein she needs?

Once you load the page, hit the stop button pretty fast or it will redirect you to a page full of ads.

ETA: Something is up with my machine at home... Good article.

I don't get the ads either.

And I really liked the answer. Answers to these types of questions outside of veg-friendly sources usually have a pretty negative tilt to them (e.g. with the attitude of "it can be done but it's really really difficult and not practical"). And it even mentioned non-dairy sources of calcium without poo-pooing them. :up:
