    Eat nutritional yeast to get B 12 as it contains protein as well. I have some daily to ensure I get enough B12 in my diet.

    For protien, I love making seitan. It is good protein, super easy to make and can be made so many different ways. I make a "chicken" version, "bacon" version, and "sausage" version. All are so yummy and pack a decent amount of protein. Obviously this is not an optino for you if you are celiac or gluten intolerant.

    Beans, edamame, nuts, seeds, nut butters, etc are also great sources along with tofu and tempeh. Dark green veggies have some protein and you can also drink soy or almond milk (I find soy has more protein).

    I have been vegetarian for years and have never had an issue getting protein, but I do consume eggs.
