Protein intake for vegetarians

86_Ohms

Note, I'm not a vegetarian.

But, I think price of meat is going to go up after sometime after the next year thanks to the drought during the summer and I like to be frugal if possible.

Any recipes/tips/foods with high protein foods while not getting majority from meat?

PS. Trying to stay away from tons of protein shakes. I have natural whey powder, which helps, but I need things for throughout the day.
