Need help with Vegan, high protein recipes?

We eat a lot of tofu. It's great scrambled like eggs, and we use nutritional yeast instead of cheese in a lot of dishes. We also eat nut butters like peanut, cashew, almond, and all beans have a good bit of protein, as do lentils.

Here is a good site that tells how much protein is in each food. You have to scroll down to get to the chart. Hope it will help. I love this site because it give what each food will help with different desieases as well as what is in each food. http://whfoods.org/genpage.php?tname=nutrient&dbid=92#foodsources

For high protein vegan recipes you can visit some website.

I'm going to add you as a friend, because I'm actually in the process right now of putting all of my vegan and vegetarian recipes up here now, so you can check them. There's a lot of protein in them, with some having as much as 22g of protein, so I hope some of them can help you!

Texturized Vegetable Protein. This stuff is awesome and you can find it in any health food store, and I've even been seeing it in the natural food sections in regular grocery stores. You can add it to anything, spaghetti, chili, any soup, it basically just needs to be boiled. A lot of people make it with lentils, beans, any kind of legume...If you throw it in ten minutes before your beans are done it'll be ready to eat right off. I like to put it in early when making chilli because the longer it sits, the more flavor it absorbs. The amount tvp it takes to make a serving is a little less than an ounce, and in that ounce you get 12 grams of protein (that's a buttload) plus 594mg of potassium...it also has 15% of your daily Iron needs and 8% of calcium. There's a lot more, I just don't like sounding like a nutrition fact table? :) It's worth buying and a little goes a long way.

Soybean is a good Protein source. But do not over do it as the long term benefits are still not known. Have it in moderation. Try Mushrooms, Broccoli & Spinach. Nuts are wonderful protein sources. The other good sources are legumes like peas. Lentils are great. Grains like Corn & wheat are good. A general vegan diet will give you enough proteins. But one consumes an extra bit of Carbohydrates doing that . So cut down the direct carbohydrates like rice, potatoes & sugars. Also try Pasta made from high quality Durum wheat. Drink plenty of water & Exercise In your daughters case as she has to consume 60 gms of protein divide her diet into 6 meals. Very advisable to have Papaya or Pineapple fruit just before a meal as it will help to digest the proteins. Papaya & Pineapple has digestive enzymes which are not naturally produced by the body.

We are a vegetarian family and I am also always on a look out for protein rich recipes to cook at home. I don't know if you are aware of lentils, but they are very rich in protein and can be cooked easily too. Beans like Garbanzo, kidney or black beans are also very nutritious. Tofu which has soy is very good for health. You can cook tofu just like any other vegetable. Cook it in a gravy or simply add sauces and make it tasty.

I'm not a vegan, but I do like vegetables a lot, and often fix meatless meals just because I like them. I sometimes add ground nuts to vegetable casseroles to provide protein. I make bean burritos loaded with goodies like shredded cheese, salsa, and guacamole. I've never tried to make anything with soy flour, but I have made things with tofu, which is very good, and a good source of protein. I make a spicy stir-fry with it.

As far as i know,teh soy is high in protein.but you can't eat too much.because one of my friend eat the soy every day,he think the soy is a health product .but after two months,he is hospitalize.because his uric acid is more than usual.so you can get lot of protein from soy,but don't eat too much.

I really love lentils. But i'm afraid that those dont have all the amminoacids that you need to make noble proteins. I think you have to combine different foods to get noble proteins from foods that dont come from animals. one example i think is pasta + beans, it makes for a good noble protein income.
