High Protein Vegan Meals

1. Zuppa Toscana

Zuppa Toscana is a classic Italian soup made with potatoes, kale, and sausage. It’s some serious comfort in a bowl! And with these colder months coming up, it’s the perfect recipe to make. It’s full of complex carbs, fresh greens, and 27 grams of protein per serving for a group of 6.

2. Three Bean Salad

This easy recipe comes together incredibly quickly (10 minutes or less people) and all in one bowl. It has 24-32 grams of protein per 3-4 servings.

I like to purchase these pickled lupini beans for this recipe.

8. Dirty Rice

This deeply flavorful rice is bursting with savoriness and spice. The foundation is created with green bell peppers, onion, and celery and because of the seasoned and browned tofu, this side dish offers 25 grams of protein per serving.

My Chickpea Avocado Salad is a great high protein meal option that serves 2. Each serving offers 22 grams of protein and it works beautifully in a sandwich or wrap. It also comes together quickly and easily!
