Vegan protein snack ideas

KungfuPandin · October 2018

Hi everyone. I'm hoping there are some other vegans out here. I never seem to hit my protein macro goals for the day. It almost feels unrealistic for me. But understanding the importance of protein in weightloss what do you do? Any ideas about ways I can increase the protein without dipping too hard into the kilojules?

I've got the same problem, and I'm vegeterian, must be even worse for you:(

One good idea I got from one of the guys here is smoothie made of silken tofu, cocoa powder, milk, sweetener and vanilla extract. It's really nice, you can swap normal milk for almond one.

Roast chickpeas.

I can vouch for the quinoa brittle (4) , PB chickpea cookies (6) and date bars (20).

It's impossibly hard to hit that protein macro without the kilojules spiraling out of control. I LOVE smoothies so I will definately pimp it with the tofu! Thank you! great idea!

Blitz silken tofu for salad dressings. Google tofu japanese salad dressing.

And crudites dipped in hummus.

Tofu scramble with plenty of veg or crustless tofu quiche. I add a scoop of protein powder to my breakfast smoothies also.

If you don't mind eating them, some of the vegan meats have a good amount of protein for the calories.
Couple of examples: Lightlife chick'n tenders, tofurky italian sausage (not very low calorie, 280 cal per sausage, but it does have 30 grams of protein).
