I can go for a longtime without eating meat, but I still do actually feel better when I eat animal protein. I have been making protein shakes quite a bit lately, and I notice I feel better with the whey as apposed to the pea/vegetable protein.
I prefer white meat, I have to say. I try not to have more than two, but preferably only one red meat meal a week. I'm trying to have ovo-veg lunches.
I haven't really tried plant based protein shakes. I make mine with almond/coconut milk, a banana, a tablespoon of peanut butter (natural, peanut only), a squeeze of honey and a couple teaspoons cacao. Used to keep me going at work from 6:30 til 10ish for a snack.
If I get work with a nut allergy family, I'm fucked for quick breakfast haha.
I've yet to make an exclusively bean chili. I'm the only one who likes beans and lentils...but I've done half and half and it was some good shit.
I enforce one fish, one vegetarian dinner a week. I hate fish, but I'm forcing myself. Only vege meal we'll all eat is falafel pitas. They like quiche and frittata stuff. I can't handle the texture, or the dairy, so I get my lentils in there with lentil Bolognese or soup, but it does mean cooking two meals :/
Really want a lentil or chickpea burger now. Or some vege sausages. But no one else will eat those or tofu.
Been meaning to make some egg rice paper rolls...but I'm out of Moroccan seasoning. Maybe some dukkah would do?
Falafel (and hummus) is probably the only time I have eaten chickpeas exclusively. But damn that fried bean ball with some hummus and pita really hits the spot.
My mother makes a mean kidney bean chilli and stuffed green pepper dishes for the colder months.
Chickpea burgers are good shit. I make falafels from a packet mix, but I don't deep fry like real ones. Still good. I need to try baking them sometime.
That sounds good. My grandmother loves stuffed peppers, but I use lamb mince for hers, and red ones. I can't enjoy the texture of cooked pepper. Too slimy. And I prefer to cut the mince with rice but she hates rice, noodles and pasta. Makes cooking a fucking minefield between the two of us haha.
Its it odd to be half vegetarian?

Choosing to eat vegetarian meals doesn't make you vegetarian.
It's healthy to eat some vegetarian meals instead of meat every main meal.

That shake sounds pretty good! I really just love coconut milk. Sometimes I have ovaltine with half coconut milk, and half milk.
I do enjoy tofu but you’re right. I’m not vegetarian, and labeling myself as one to suffice the ignorant isn't helping anyone.

Tofu's ok. Lentils and beans are better. More taste.
I really like lentils. Great beef mince replacement.
