I'm not a Vegan, but I read a book by a pro triathlete who is. Really interesting. I've incorporated a few meals and post-workout drinks.

Before switching, I could do a particular very heavy workout twice a week at best. I had many months of history with it, so I knew exactly what I could do. Just be switching what I ate or drank after the workout I found I could workout at least twice as often, many time even more.

It was the first time I've ever seen concrete empirical evidence that the nutrition stuff works. The book is called Thrive, by Brenen Brazier.

Our favorite recipe around here is a post workout drink.

In the blender:
Juice of 1 lime or lemon
4 large or 8 small dates
1Tbsp of hemp protein
2 Tbsp Agave nectar
1tsp oil (the omega rich oils mixes)
1 tsp Dulse (a ground up sea vegetable)

Fill blender with ice to the 2 1/2 cup line, then do the same with water.

It's excellent and seems to work wonders. All the goofy sounding stuff is available at a health food store.
