About this Event

"Where do you get your protein?"

We’ve all heard the question - Do plants really have enough protein? And how much protein do we actually need?

Let’s separate fact from fiction in this relaxed, interactive session. We’ll look at protein recommendations, changing needs with age, common myths, and delicious plant-based sources. Rather than a traditional lecture, this will be a conversation with plenty of audience participation, questions, and a few surprises along the way. Come with your questions, your opinions—and maybe your favorite protein-rich dish for the potluck!



Let's Eat Together!

This evening will begin with a whole food, plant-based (WFPB) potluck. Please bring a dish to share that is made exclusively from whole plant ingredients and is free of added oil. Please avoid bringing dishes containing meat, dairy, fish, eggs, or other animal-derived ingredients.

Here are some recipe sites for inspiration:

  • Forks Over Knives Recipe Collection
  • Monkey and Me Recipes
  • Center for Nutrition Studies Recipes

If you are new to this way of eating, feel free to bring something simple like a fresh fruit platter or green salad.



Join Eat for the Earth for a delicious, healthy meal and a rich, insightful discussion!
