15 High Protein Vegan Meals

If you are looking for a high-protein vegan meal for lunch or dinner, then this list of 15 recipes packed with 12-40 grams of protein per serving will be perfect for you!

One of the most comment questions I get asked about eating a plant-based diet is always "How do you get enough protein?". Well, a lot of it comes down to eating high-protein vegan meals just like these!

I've split this into three categories- tofu recipes based on soy protein, beans/legumes, and a third category of high protein grains, seeds, and nuts (including quinoa which is actually a seed!)

If you are new to a plant-based diet or are just trying to add more protein to meal prep, these lunch & dinner recipes are great to get you started.

Tofu Recipes

Tofu and Tempeh is a great source of vegan protein that comes from the soy plant. Just ½ cup of tofu contains 10 grams of protein and ½ cup of tempeh contains about 15 grams.

Legumes

Legumes are honestly my absolute FAVORITE way to get in my protein. Chickpeas, lentils, peanuts, black beans, and peas are just a few of my favorite protein-packed legumes.

Seeds & Grains

Seeds and grains can be easily forgotten about when thinking about protein. but many are a great source of protein! Some of my favorites include almonds, cashews, quinoa, and wild rice.
