Simple contact a Dietician ! We did for son they were able to use foods we eat as a family to toddler foods figure out a full menu to if vitamin drops or chocolate chews were needed . Which meal app to record check vitamins y amounts. They added toddler drinks like Enfamil Toddler to a meal.
20years before my son 2 had my Daughter when no Dieticians were available to me but Doctor was luckily a Vegetarian able to help map out her meals with weekly visits until we had it full proof. Back the. Could find healthier foods for some things ,but meat substitutes were more scarce. She became a raw fish only Pescatarian as she grew up,but started fully Vegetarian. Cooked meats don’t set well with her but freash lay caught raw fish she’s fine . Son is Vegetarian will see as he grows eats at school what will be will be. Daughter y him have meat sensitivity comes back up. It’s more trying new foods until they find what they like. Daughter the only tapioca lover even.

Legumes/beans are high in protein and could be a good source for you. I recommend Green Peas. https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/healthiest-beans-legumes
Kale, Spinach and/or Broccoli which have good amounts of protein and other nutrients. They can easily be cooked or mixed with fruit or other veggies and made into easy to eat baby food. Nuts/Seeds are high in protein also, but you'll probably have to judge if your baby is ready for these in a blended form and only have them when home since it's not allowable at daycare. They do have nut powders out there that can be made into baby food consistency.1 -
** I'm raising my daughter vegan. She is 2 and thriving! She eats lots of lentils, beans, peas, nuts, tofu, lots of veggies have protein too.
If you look up how much protein we actually need it's not as much as people think. Also thing of the amount of large herbivorous animals that get all their protein from plant sources.
You are doing a great thing, ignore negative comments. Your child can thrive wonderfully on a veggie diet1 -
Ohhh and quinoa is amazing! My daughter has the apro growing up milk too. If you want to contact me at all I'm happy to give suggestions0

FIFY.
And yes, I would consider avocado a fat source rather than a protein source as well.0 -
