Have you tried Raw Fit protein shakes by Garden of Life?-2

Fruit and nuts or PB are quick.
I also take vegetarian refried beans (I never checked, if they aren't vegan you can mash up your own beans) and mix in spices to give a taco flavor (cumin, cayenne pepper and paprika). I eat it with salsa and tortilla chips. You could also serve it as a burrito.

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)0 -
I like lentils a lot. I make a BBQ lentils with cooked lentils, veggies (onion/garlic/carrot/greens), and a homemade BBQ sauce that always includes blackstrap molasses for extra iron. You can also add newt yeast for B vitamins if you like.
I also really like this: http://thesimpleveganista.blogspot.com/2012/11/the-ultimate-vegetable-lentil-loaf.html?m=1
I make it on the weekend, then slice and have w/veggies.
You can also do 1/2 oats and 1/2 quinoa for a hot breakfast cereal, and add almonds and chia seeds. Chia, almonds and quinoa are all high in protein. Hummus or any chickpea filling is protein rich too.0 -
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.0 -
Are you in the UK? Go to sainsburys frozen veggie section and pick up some of their own brand soy mince. Per 100g there is something like 23g of protein.
I had a small portion of spag bol for lunch, and having a small shepherds pie for dinner and with the other veggies I'm having with it I've hit my protein goals for today. Easy! Only takes 10 mins to cook too.0 -
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!0

(oops, I'm distracted and forgot I'd already replied, LOL sorry for my double meatless crumble rec!)0

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.0 -
Beans beans the musical fruit. Sorry, we eat a lot of beans, lentils, tvp, quinoa, chia seeds, Sun flower seed butter.0

Cottage cheese is life- pair it with salad or veggies and you got a meal0

-Can of fat free refried beans
-Shirataki noodles
Warm and mix together. I add some Real Salt and extra garlic (because apparently I love scaring people away with bad breath). It sounds like the most bizarre combination, but it's the best thing in the world. I've been getting really weird cravings lately..0 -
Well, not everyone knows the exact definition, especially with all of the misinformation out there. I wouldn't expect them to be informed if they weren't vegan themselves, either. At least they were trying to be helpful:-)
