How To Get Plenty Of Protein As a Vegan

Add cooked beans — such as kidney, lima, or navy — or lentils in place of meat in soups, stews, casseroles, and chili. You can also make bean burgers and lentil burgers for a hearty meal.

Try soy and grain-based protein products like veggie burgers, veggie hotdogs, and veggie sausages.

Incorporate other meat substitutes into your diet, including bulgar wheat, seitan — a wheat gluten — tempeh, which is cultured soybeans, quinoa, and tofu.

Substitute dairy in recipes with soy milk, soy cheese, and soy yogurt.

Go nuts! Eating nuts and delicious nut butters daily is a great source of protein for vegans.

Remember that most vegetables contain some protein, and often a great deal. Some that are particularly high in protein include artichokes, beets, broccoli, peas, potatoes, and spinach.
