I Need Plant-Based Protein

George has heard that quinoa is a high-protein superfood, but he's never been able to cook it right. Chris and Shilpa step up to help answer the question behind his SOS.

So Chris and Shilpa try to get George on board with lentils and tofu—two plant-based protein sources that pack more of a punch.
