It depends on what you consider "processed". I sometimes make an acai bowl with an acai packet, frozen berries or mango, half a banana, a scoop of vega protein and greens, and almond milk or fresh green juice or water - blended until smooth and thick. Then I top it with the other half banana, other fruit, slivered almonds, bee pollen, nut butter, shredded coconut, chia seed, flax, etc. in whatever combo sounds good for the morning. They typically come out to around 300-400 cals and 25-40 grams of protein depending on what I use.3

That sounds delicious and nutritious. Now I should just measure and weigh everything in advance as my mornings are pretty hectic.0 -

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. I am not a fan of tofu or soy products but those recipes do look good.0 -

Tofu is highly processed...
My vote would be nuts and fruit. I love cashews and dried fruit. Makes for a good snack too.1 -

Really? which step makes it highly processed - the boiling of the soy milk or the adding a magnesium salt to the soy milk? Or does letting the mixture cool make it highly processed?

Tofu seems to be highly processed by almost any way you define the term -- if you look at a soy bean and then at tofu, it's obvious that it has undergone a lot of processing. That said, I don't think there is anything wrong with processed food. Tofu is actually a really good example of why it's silly to demonize or avoid a food simply because it is processed.

This recipe is really good. I like to make it with cherries and mango: http://ohsheglows.com/2011/06/20/high-protein-quinoa-almond-berry-salad/1

I do a smoothie most mornings since it's easy. You can add whatever protein powder you want, lots of brands like raw, organic, vegan protein powder. Sunwarrior is my favorite.1
-
here's what I do
But also this may help:
1.5 c of lentils is 30g protein also you can use a protein mix with a smoothie.
My vegan breakfast =
1/2 cup - 1 cup Whole Grain (quinoa, amaranth, millet, or any other)
black beans, corn, diced tomatoes
(optional) Table spoon chia seeds1 -
Tofu is processed, but if I wanted a vegan breakfast with a decent amount of protein and no protein powder I'd likely sautee some tofu with some vegetables or keep some leftover black beans and rice on hand and heat it up and add vegetables.1

A black bean bowl with salsa and guacamole would be tasty and a good shot of protein! You could make it into a taco or burrito too if you wanted.1

Overnight oats are my favorite for breakfast. Tons of protein. I eat them at 8:30 and am not hungry again until well after noon.
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
2 T creamy or chunky peanut butter (or any other nut butter you want)
1 T maple syrup (the real stuff)
3/4 T chia seeds
1/2 cup old fashioned oats
Mix everything but the oats together in a bowl. Not all of the peanut butter will mix in and that's okay because it leaves you with delicious gobs of peanut butter the next day! Once mixed, sprinkle in the oats and stir again, then press down lightly on the surface to ensure that all of the oats are submerged in the liquid. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, but preferably overnight. The next day, top with any type of fruit, more peanut butter, cinnamon, dark chocolate, dried fruit... whatever you want! Delicious, filling, naturally sweetened, and tons and tons of plant-powered protein.
Enjoy!

I ran that recipe since I was wondering how it was high protein (I eat steel cut oats regularly, and they are not high protein on their own), and I guess we just have different definitions. I get 16 g of protein for 475 calories for that recipe.1 -
1/2 cup of oats is not much protein at all. Protein is in greek yogurt, meat, eggs, tofu.1

Plant sources of protein also include beans, tempeh, and seitan.1
