High protein but vegan/gluten-free recipes?

FromJellyToRock

Hi everyone
Do you have any high protein, vegan/gluten-free recipes or good websites for recipes you can share?
I follow a vegan/gluten-free diet as this helps to reduce symptoms of microscopic colitis (inflammation of the large intestine). I feel pretty good as long as I strictly follow this diet - trouble is getting enough protein (and iron).
If you have any awesome, protein-filled recipes up your sleeve (or know a good website or two with recipes) I'd love you to share it here!
Thank you and wish you a great day!

Veggies:
Carrot
Celery

Seasoning’s:
Black pepper
Garlic powder
Onion powder
Onion Flakes
Rubbed Sage

-Add seasonings to veggies while stirring on medium heat
-add pepper 30 sec.
-add sage 20sec

Add veggie & seasoning mix to boiling lentils (Add extra water to a thickness a bit thinner than you prefer)
Bring to a boil

Option 1

Option 2
For extra Protein:

You can never go wrong with bean/meat substitute chilli. I dunno about meatless beef crumbles being GF, but those, a variety of beans, maybe some corn, tomato sauce and chili seasoning and you're good to go!
I've also been trying to do more tofu veggie stir fry and such. You just gotta eat a lot of tofu to make it high protein and I don't love it that much yet..
Lastly, a layered taco casserole. Layer refried beans, meatless crumbles if able, black beans and corn, maybe some seasoned cauliflower rice, fajita veggies, and then some guacamole and tomatoes!
I find it's mostly about finding different flavor profiles for the same bean/veggie combos.
It's hard to do vegan high protien, but it's possible! Good luck!

Tofu, tempeh, beans, legumes and surprisingly broccoli are all high protein options. I’m newly keto vegan, so I’m sure there are other options. My go-to is home made seitan, unfortunately that would be no good for you. Good luck!

Crock pot pinto beas

1lb pinto beans

soak over night

water or vegetable broth to cover
into crockpot, cook on high one hour, then turn down to low and cook for 8 hours or more.



If you like soup, in the last hour of cooking add carrots, cooked onions, sauteed garlic, and veggies.
if you like mexican, season with cumin, corriander and chili powder.

beans may be used as soup, drained, and both ways can be frozen and added to dishes later.

You can use silken tofu to make an alfredo sauce. Pour that over lentil or black bean pasta for double the protein.
