For meatless protein, we eat a lot of beans. Black beans, pinto beans, kidney beans, any bean will do. With brown rice or quinoa and plenty of veggies, they make a great meal.

Also tempeh or tofu, eggs, and cheese. I like organic yogurt and nuts for snacks. I add a scoop of unsweetened whey protein powder to my cereal.

We do eat poultry and fish but also try to have several meatless meals a week. Better for the planet and for our health, we think.

Oh, and that quinoa/broccoli casserole recipe sounds good. I don't find that quinoa tastes like broccoli at all. To me it tastes like whatever it's cooked with (seasonings, broth, etc.) It's important to give it a GOOD rinsing prior to cooking to get rid of the coating of the individual grains, which can be bitter.
