Starting out on a vegan lifestyle afresh can be a challenge as it would require transformation of your cooking habits. However a gradual transition by incorporating easy vegan recipes can make the vegan journey quite a breeze. There is also a common misconception that vegans have problems incorporating protein into their diets. Here are some examples of some recipes that you can eat as a vegan that are high in protein and easy to make. Also are included here some examples of food items for each meal of the day for you to get a good idea of how to properly incorporate high protein foods in your vegan menu.
The first meal of the day is breakfast and the first of our list is breakfast. The easiest thing to prepare for vegan breakfast that will be high in protein is a simple fruit smoothie made with your choice of fruits and rice, oats or soy milk. Other options include scrambled tofu or other breakfast meat substitutes that can easily be found at your local grocery store.
For a main dish or vegan dinner you can again use tofu as your protein source along with whole grain sides such as pasta. You can also have a bean stew or tempeh and of course the many other meat substitutes out there such as dinner roast, veggie steak etc.
Another great way that people are not aware of to incorporate high protein in their vegan meals is in salads and sandwiches. There are a number of meat substitute sandwich meats and slices on the market and you can also make a salad with some veggie mince or your desired protein such as some beans or nuts tossed in.
Then there are of course vegetarian chili and soup recipes. Soups that are made of peas and beans will be the best and the good part is that these will also be packed with fiber which is great for your intestines as well as for weight control. You can have a black bean soup or a triple bean soup and the same can be said of vegetarian chili recipes.
Here is one of my simple vegan recipes that I often have as a refreshingly fulfilling lunch.
