high protein vegan lunch recipes??

I buy the Joseph's Flax and Oat bran wraps (50 cal for half a wrap, 100 for the whole big sheet) and cover it with hummus, then add some Gardien crispy Chik'n (soy fake chicken) strips, cucumbers, and a massive pile of dark leafy tender greens.....wrap and eat! Even with the whole sheet of flatbread, the whole wrap is barely 200 cal, and packed with protein...I'm quite satisfied for hours afterwards.

I also make chili with LOTS of beans and the Boca or Morningstar crumbles. Delicious and filling and the meatetarians in my house don't notice that it's not real meat, and my vegetarian daughter gets to join in. (We aren't vegan, so we add a sprinkle of cheddar cheese. Not sure how those vegan fake cheeses melt, so do that at your discretion)

if you want high vegan protein you have to go with seitan. And it's delicious.

You can make stir frys, sandwiches, whatever you want to.

It's easy to make too if you have access to wheat gluten.

In the US, Boca and Morningstar both make an equivalent to the Sainsbury Soy Mince. It's usually called "Veggie Crumbles" or "Ground Non-Meat" or some such. That's what I use in chili and, like lemonsurprise, the Spag Bol I made for dinner last night!

Ezekiel bread with avocado, 3 egg whites and a vegan sausage patty with salsa:-) great hot or cold. Or wrapped in lettuce if you don't want the bread.

Cajun red beans and rice. Miso soup w/ tofu AND dried mushrooms. Quick veggie curries over rice or quinoa.

Sub Daiya or omit cheese entirely for this:

Cooks really quick. Check your brand before you buy or make your own gnocchi in advance. I think it's great with Daiya pepperjack style shreds.

The stuff you'll be looking for is called vital wheat gluten and it's obscenely cheap compared to premade seitan. Add seasoned/salted water and knead into dough, then break into pieces and boil 'em up like dumplings.

Or if you want a somewhat cheaper premade thing, look for mock duck at the local asian food store.

Look for something called textured vegetable protein or TVP. This is the stuff that Morningstar binds together with eggs and turns into "burgers"... use a not-animal binder of your choice to make your own. Again, obscenely cheap compared to the premade version. It comes dehydrated so you'll be needing to add liquids to it.

I have a vegan potato curry recipe i can give you just ask
