I just found a delicious recipe and I thought I'll share with you. I'm going to make them tomorrow
![]() Beet and Cauliflower Latkes Take about 4 medium small sized beets, peeled and then grate them and set aside. Get a head of cauliflower, clean and cut into florets and cook in boiling water about 20 minutes. They should be soft enough to mash with the back of a fork, so drain and mash them and set to the side. The beets need to be drained of some of their liquid, do so by taking handfuls of the grated beets and squeeze well then add them to the cauliflower mash. Add 3 eggs to the cauliflower and beet mix(a vegan can substitute eggs with breadcrumbs/ flour or Egg Beaters- something which will avoid them from smashing), sliced green onion, then salt and pepper to taste. If you like garlic, either mince or use a garlic press to add a clove to your mixture and mix it all together. The worst part of using beets is the color it turns your hands, but a bit of soap and scrubbing will fix that easily. Take a pan (I used a non stick skillet) and heat to medium, adding just enough olive oil to the bottom to coat it. Take a small handful of the beet and cauliflower mixture and squish flat between your hands before adding it to the pan, making sure the patties don't touch. Also there may be a bit of liquid still so you'll want to squeeze them out before making the patties. About 5 minutes on each side will get them nice and crunchy on the outside. Make sure to let cool a few minutes before serving. ![]() acquiredflavor.blogspot.com/2009/12/beet-cauliflower-latkes-not-exactly.html |

^ what you are experiencing probably isn't protein deficiency (which is really hard to acquire actually). I don't know how your normal diet looks like, just take care to eat some beans, lentils, quinoa or such at least once a week and don't rely solely on soy-products.
I think you might be feeling weak because of iron deficiency, which happens quite often to women (not only vegetarians). here is a link you might want to check out: http://www.vrg.org/nutrition/iron.htm you might also want to take a closer look if you have a sufficient intake of Omega-3 acids. The vegetarian options for those are flaxseed, flaxseed oil, canola oil, tofu, soybeans, and walnuts. and 'ceterum censeo', don't forget the Vitamin B 12 ![]()
