becca7 Mar 2024 6:10pm, 5 Mar 2024 9,785 posts	0 becca7 I just use wholefood or minimally processed vegan sources and if I concentrate on getting plenty of protein I can normally just hit about 65-70g. Porridge with raspberries and almond butter is about 9g; salad with chickpeas/other pulses, some sort of wholegrain and various seeds is about 17-20g; some sort of tofu or tempeh dish with other whole grains followed by chia pudding and fruit is about 35-40g.

I scavenged in the Co-op tonight and got some "no chicken southern fried tenders" for 50p instead of £2.50. Normally, I wouldn't have, but I thought "hmm, easy protein". Actually, they taste ok, but are anything but tender.
sallykate Mar 2024 12:36pm, 8 Mar 2024 13,500 posts	0 sallykate Just a quick update on my protein quest: I've saved some recipes from BBC Good Food and Olive Magazine's websites in my Copy Me That (my favourite way of saving recipes) and created a collection of recipes with >20g protein per serving - mainly tofu and tempeh! And I found some proper fresh tempeh in an oriental supermarket. Lastly, although the Greek yogurt I can get here isn't as high protein as Fage, there is something called kvarg, which is like quark but nicer and 11% protein, so a good alternative for eating with berries.
Homeless Kodo Mar 2024 12:45pm, 8 Mar 2024 2,634 posts	0 Homeless Kodo The vast majority of recipes, if not all, in Anita Bean’s The Vegan Athlete’s Cookbook have over 20g protein per serving. It’s my fave cookbook at the moment.
