Edamame and Snow Pea Power Salad

Edamame and Snow Pea Power Salad is a fantastic way to get your greens and your protein in one meal.

Did you know that plant protein has more nutrients gram per gram than animal protein? The phytonutrients contained inside plant protein helps strengthen our immune system and provides us with a stronger ability to fight off disease.

Some example of plant protein are quinoa, lentils, nuts and seeds. But the main superstar of plant protein has to go to the soybean. Here is my favorite recipe that is packed with protein and also a great way to use up those fresh garden veggies.
