High-Protein Vegan Recipes
Vegan Meatballs
PROTEIN: 24g
READY IN: 45 minutes
Vegan meatballs that taste just like the real deal? Sign me UP.
Not only are they high in protein (thanks to the black beans and TVP!), but the Italian seasoning and soy sauce balance the dish beautifully.
Oh, and the umami goodness and healthy fats you get from the nutritional yeast and almond butter?
Glorious.
Toss these balls of goodness in with a bunch of spaghetti, or eat them with a refreshing salad for a light lunch!
Sesame Crusted Tofu
PROTEIN: 18g
READY IN: 35 min
If you’re looking to boost your protein intake, these creative sesame-encrusted tofu steaks have got your back!
They are super juicy on the inside.
But the coating of nutty sesame seeds and the process of roasting them give these delicious squares an unbelievable crunch.
Shove them inside a sandwich for a quick lunch, or serve them alongside Asian greens and some edamame for a well-rounded meal.
Bean Chili with Cornbread Waffles
PROTEIN: 34g
READY IN: 1 hour 25 minutes
If you think bean chili isn’t your thing, prepare to have your mind blown by this comforting dish.
The high-protein content will keep you full until breakfast time, and the fact that it’s cooked in an instant pot makes this recipe ridiculously easy.
It’s also made with simple and wholesome ingredients like diced tomatoes, onions, vegan ground beef, and green chilis (for a hint of spice!).
Quick Lentil Soup
PROTEIN: 24g
READY IN: 25 minutes
Another incredibly delicious soup recipe that I can’t get enough of!
This is one of my favorite meals to whip up during the fall.
If you’re wondering why, it’s packed with protein-rich lentils, warming turmeric, and earthy cumin for an uber-intense flavor profile!
And you don’t even need to blend the soup as it automatically cooks up thick and super creamy.
