First post, new to MFP.
I'm 35+ years veg*n and only now thinking about eating for health (really need to lose 50 pounds, have been eating far too many carbs). I'm exploring the same path and looking at Paleo Vegan resources. I'm waiting for a more recent library book (on hold), but recently picked up this one from 2015 that looks helpful, "The Everything Vegan Paleo Cookbook" by Daelyn Fortney.
Good luck to us all!

I use a lot of Indian cuisine, skip the rice... Delicious variety like Palak paneer.

Homemade Tarka Daal, lentil curry. Really easy to make. Using a little olive oil, cook
Finely sliced onion , crushed garlic ginger and finely chopped chilli. Cook on a low heat for 30 minutes, occasionally stirring, you want the onions to go past translucent to a golden brown melt in the mouth texture. Then add 1/2 tsp of mustard seeds, cumin seeds. Add 2 tsp turmeric, 1-2 tsp ground coriander and 1-2 tsp Garam masala. You can experiment and add other spices.
Rinse and drain a cup of dried red lentils in cold water x10 times. Put in pan of cold clean water (you’ll need a thumbs depth of water more than the lentils) don’t add salt at this stage it turns the lentils into bullets. Add 1-3 teaspoons of turmeric, crushed ginger and a few crushed cloves of garlic with 1/2 a red or green chilli finely chopped and a bay leaf.
Simmer for 35-45 minutes, stir occasionally. When done most of the water will have been absorbed.
Add onion mix to lentils, stir and cook for a few more minutes. Can be eaten hot as a curry or cold as a lentil pate or spread. You can mash the lentils before adding the onion mix. Rich in protein iron and fibre.1 -
I tried the vegan meatball meal and the spicy peanut butter tempeh meal and they are freaking good. I am vegetarian and struggling to meet my protein goal. I hit my goal on using this. I didn't try the snack but I will be in 3 days when I food prep again.

Grand alioli with lots of boiled eggs. Skip the prawns, of course and the boiled potatoes. With this type of dish of fatty sauce for dipping raw veg, I don't miss skipping the carbs if I skip them.

Tofu and quorn are pretty low in carbs about 2g per 100g, Tempeh is not bad at 9g. Seitan is higher at 14g which is not surprising as it is wheat gluten. Pulses around 20g.0
