    I like tempeh. Although a tofu product, it is totally different in flavour and texture.

    Just eat a varied diet. There is protein in most things from rice to broccoli (broccoli has 4g for around a cup for example). I don't eat tofu and beans everyday I have no problems getting reasonable amounts of protein. Just google or pinterest for recipes

    I "cheat". Breakfast is Naturade Vegan Smart (20 grams protein, 6 grams fiber, and an impressive array of vitamins and minerals) shaken up with 1 1/4 cup almond milk (or cashew milk, or soy milk - whatever I happen to have open in the fridge).

    Hemp seeds!! You can put them in smoothies, soups, salads, desserts, and more! We only need about 50 grams of protein a day and 3 tablespoons of raw hemp seeds contain 10 grams of protein. I always put about 4-6 tablespoons in my morning smoothie and the rest of my protein comes from greens and beans, lentils, etc :smile: I hope this helps!!

    This http://www.mindbodygreen.com/0-4771/10-Vegan-Sources-of-Protein.html has some great ideas. An almond butter sandwich on Sprouted-grain bread with a glass of non-dairy "milk" is about 26g of protein. Also you might want to try PB2 powder for smoothies 2Tlbs is 6g protein.

    Not what I eat daily but to mix it up. Whole foods 365 burgers have 11g per patty plus some trader joes nan 7g then add your favorite hummus and spinach. Delicious, vegan, and full of protein.
