I'm worried I might not be taking in enough protein, especially around the end of the month when food is scarce.

Fellow vegans, what are your favorite protein powders, bars etc. or how can I get enough protein without having to eat a cubic **** ton of beans and rice?

(sorry if I accidentally double post, internet failed when I clicked post topic.)

    Vegetarian, but I find that the boca vegan burgers provide some of the best bang for your buck (80 calories and 10g protein). The RAW protein powder is a decent vegan protein supplement as well. I personally like dried edamame (Seapoint Farms, I think) as a protein-heavy snack.

    Vega brand protein powders are pretty good, and are vegan. If you're just looking for protein powder. I've found some pretty awesome recipes in a variety of vegan books as well.

    Quinoa, tofu, tempeh, lentils, nuts. I just started using the RAW brand protein powder because I wanted to up my protein intake after my workouts, so I've been making shakes with that which are pretty tasty and pack in at least 20-25 grams.

    Hemp is my favourite vegan protein source (hemp-fu, hemp seitan, hemp seeds, hemp flour/powder) and it is complete, meaning it contains all the essential amino acids. It also have lots of fiber and it's a good source of omega 3.

    Sunwarrior should be the best. It's riceprotein.

    brown rice protein powder :)

    it is fairly cheap for protein powder, in the health food section of Kroger its about $10 for a container and you get quite a bit
    I switched to this after I wanted to work on becoming vegan, I get sick of beans as well :) I usually make a shake with water and peanut butter but they say you can just stir it into other things
