Lower fat vegan protein?

I'm having a lot of trouble getting in enough protein (I'm usually getting in between 30 and 40, would like to be at 60+) without a ridiculous number of calories. I feel like I'm too reliant on nuts and nut butters. Tofu is fine, but I don't like having soy more than once a day and there actually isn't that much protein in a serving. A lot of people try to suggest hummus, which I love, but that only has 2 grams of protein per serving.

I have a protein shake every morning with about 15 grams of protein, 350 calories including fruit, the powder, silken tofu, almond milk, chia or flax seeds, and spinach.
My snack is usually a primal strip (70 calories, 10 grams of protein) or 1/4 a cup of almonds (more like 180 calories and 8 grams of protein.)
Vegan veggie burgers tend to either be lower protein and very processed or super expensive (i.e Amy's vegan burgers) so that is only a once-in-awhile option. I try not to have a lot of overly processed frozen vegan foods or fake meats.

Any other suggestions

Edit - I don't do well with most beans D:
