I'm a vegetarian but need more protein. HELP!

Sarauk2sf

one of my go to snacks that I always carry in my purse is primal strips (vegan jerkey <100 cal w/ about 10g protein). I did not notice if you were vegan but I eat a greek yogurt every morning to start the day with 14g of fat free protein. Between my veggie intake and spending my calories on food instead of junk I always reach my protein goals without even trying. Good luck

Those primal strips are really good.

Thanks for this thread. I'm also looking to increase my protein intake and got some great ideas.

14 grams protien 13grams carbs and 20% of 24 vitamins 4 grams fiber 7 grams sugar.

almonds, peanuts, Cashews, Pistachios,pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds, chia seeds, skimmed milk, soy milk, tofu, meat substitutes(they are super high in protein), 100% whole grain wheat products or if your gluten free buckwheat flour and products, flaxseeds/ flaxmeal, quinoa, lentils, red kidney beans, black beans, string cheese, low moisture-part skim milk mozarella cheese, chickpeas / hummus, broccoli, spinach, kale (basically any dark green vegi), wild rice, brown rice etc

There are already some really good suggestions here, I'll just throw in my favorites:
-Plain greek yogurt mixed with a scoop of vanilla whey protein (tastes better than pudding and has >50g protein!)
-lentils and lentil crackers
-Vega protein powder (from Whole Foods. Has a smaller protein:calorie ratio than whey but is a good vegan alternative)
-Morningstar and Boca products (good protein and yummy, but tend to be high in sodium)
-Quest protein bars (very clean with good macros)
-Protein waffles (yes, they exist! 10g protein per serving. Found at Whole Foods)
-Egg Whites (if you eat eggs..easy to sneak into lots of things for a big protein boost)
