About two years ago, I was diagnosed with fibroids and extreme anemia. It took a long, long time for me to finally get to the doctor and receive confirmation of what I already knew.

I was determined to make my own veggie burger the following weekend. I headed to the natural grocer with a particular brand in mind, hoping this company was still in business.

Of course, the protein powder I loved so much got discontinued, which sent me on an expensive search for another tasty substitute. Recently, I finally found a worthy plant-based replacement.
