Tofu, tempeh, seitan, TVP, beans, edamame, soymilk, soy yogurt, and whole grains are my favorite sources of protein.

Nuts, too. Almonds are pretty good, as are sunflower seeds :-) Try here for some advice:

qunioa, nutrional yeast, nuts, beans of any kind, whole grain breads or vegan protein powder.

Definitely seitan. It has more protein than tofu or tempeh. I also add hemp protein powder to my smoothies.

Lentils and chickpeas are delicious, amazingly nutritious, and high in protein.
