Which of these do you incorporate each day? 

How do you like to combine them?

I eat soy protein (a complete protein, variety of types), a variety of beans, almonds, peas (crispy fried, lightly salted yummy) and quinoa...EVERYDAY. I also use de-fatted peanut powder in different things...it's so good.

I just received an email this morning from the Silk brand milks. They now have Silk Protein Nutmilk with 10 grams of pea protein. They have one with 2 gr sugar & the vanilla with 6 gr sugar. Of course it's not available where I live yet. I would like to try it for our smoothies.

I eat more of the oats, nuts, seeds on your list since I hate beans.

I use alot of this list in my daily smoothies---the nuts, seeds, oats also use black beans in a wonderful brownie like smoothie that is to die for. I use beans but not as much as I want to. I stay away from soy tho--not good for me and I drink almond milk but not the ones that have carageenan in them, which I think Silk has, that causes inflammation. Spiralina I would like to try.

We are a chia,flax,oat family but the beans give us stomach problems.I admire the gut strength of those who can eat beans and go out into the world without destroying the ozone layer.We have oatmeal many mornings with a lot of added grains.I love to make chia gels and chia pudding for snacks.

@dex Maybe that stuff called beano would work. LOL!!!

I think the key to getting along with beans involves a couple of important things. First, don't eat canned beans. Buy dry beans and cook them until they are WELL DONE. I use my pressure cooker, no soaking and just rinse before cooking them. I pressure cook them for one hour, don't release pressure and let stand over night then remove the next day. The second most important tip to getting beans to be your friends is to eat small amounts...like 1/4 cup or less per serving. If you do this regularly I think you will find you may not get blown away.

        I like, and can eat, just about everything on the graphic.   Never heard of spirulina so I had to look it up -- interesting.    Beans are a favorite and I'm lucky that they don't have the unwanted "effect" they do on some folks.   I was hopeful about chia seeds, but discovered even the tiniest amount is a major migraine trigger for me, so a heads up for anyone else who might have the same sensitivity.

@dex I eat beans so often that I have an immunity to their side effects, fortunately for the world around me!

I have beans or lentils daily.  I make black bean chili with tomatoes, bell peppers, onion, and corn.  My lentil soup has carrots, onion, mushrooms, corn, peas, celery, veggie broth, tomato paste.  Either toast with jam or avocado for breakfast (hash browns and Benevolent Bacon (bean based) on the weekends), or oatmeal with fruit and almond milk.  Fruit and nuts for snacks.
