  Tofu, tempeh, seitan, TVP, beans, edamame, soymilk, soy yogurt, and whole grains are my favorite sources of protein.

  Nuts, too. Almonds are pretty good, as are sunflower seeds :-) Try here for some advice:

  Definitely seitan. It has more protein than tofu or tempeh. I also add hemp protein powder to my smoothies.

  Lentils and chickpeas are delicious, amazingly nutritious, and high in protein.
