Hi everyone :)
Do you have any high protein, vegan/gluten-free recipes or good websites for recipes you can share? :)
I follow a vegan/gluten-free diet as this helps to reduce symptoms of microscopic colitis (inflammation of the large intestine). I feel pretty good as long as I strictly follow this diet - trouble is getting enough protein (and iron).
If you have any awesome, protein-filled recipes up your sleeve (or know a good website or two with recipes) I'd love you to share it here! :)
Thank you and wish you a great day!

    Dal
    You can make about a million variations of Dal. This is a fun version I made up that tastes like Thanksgiving :smiley:

    Dal
    Rinse and boil Red Lentil’s (1 part lentil to 3 parts water) for 20 minutes

    Veggies:
    Carrot
    Celery
    Onion
    Garlic
    -Dice ¾ of total carrot, celery, and onion into very small pieces.
    -Cut ¼ of Veggies into medium pieces
    -brown with EVOO on high heat for 5 minutes (add bigger pieces first)
    -Start adding seasoning

    Seasoning’s:
    Black pepper
    Garlic powder
    Onion powder
    Onion Flakes
    Rubbed Sage

    -Add seasonings to veggies while stirring on medium heat
    -add pepper 30 sec.
    -add sage 20sec
    -add onion flakes 10 sec

    Add veggie & seasoning mix to boiling lentils (Add extra water to a thickness a bit thinner than you prefer)
    Bring to a boil
    Add onion and garlic powder

    Option 1
    Simmer 10 minutes
    salt to taste

    or for more Protein:

    Option 2
    For extra Protein:
    Hulled Chick peas
    Raw cashews
    -Take the skin of canned or prepared chick peas and add to dal mixture
    -simmer 5 minutes
    -add cashews
    simmer 5 minutes
    Add salt to taste.


    Mashed Potato
    Russet or Red Potato
    -Boiled and mashed
    - Puree sautéed garlic and extra virgin olive oil until almost smooth
    - Mash together with salt and garlic powder to taste

    Serve dal over mashed potatoes with cranberry sauce on the side.

    You can never go wrong with bean/meat substitute chilli. I dunno about meatless beef crumbles being GF, but those, a variety of beans, maybe some corn, tomato sauce and chili seasoning and you're good to go!
    I've also been trying to do more tofu veggie stir fry and such. You just gotta eat a lot of tofu to make it high protein and I don't love it that much yet..
    Lastly, a layered taco casserole. Layer refried beans, meatless crumbles if able, black beans and corn, maybe some seasoned cauliflower rice, fajita veggies, and then some guacamole and tomatoes!
    I find it's mostly about finding different flavor profiles for the same bean/veggie combos.
    It's hard to do vegan high protien, but it's possible! Good luck!

    Tofu, tempeh, beans, legumes and surprisingly broccoli are all high protein options. I’m newly keto vegan, so I’m sure there are other options. My go-to is home made seitan, unfortunately that would be no good for you. Good luck!

    Crock pot pinto beas

    1lb pinto beans

    soak over night

    water or vegetable broth to cover
    into crockpot, cook on high one hour, then turn down to low and cook for 8 hours or more.



    If you like soup, in the last hour of cooking add carrots, cooked onions, sauteed garlic, and veggies.
    if you like mexican, season with cumin, corriander and chili powder.

    beans may be used as soup, drained, and both ways can be frozen and added to dishes later.

    You can use silken tofu to make an alfredo sauce. Pour that over lentil or black bean pasta for double the protein.
