Think you can’t get enough protein from plants? Think again! It’s is possible to eat a high protein plant-based diet, you just need a little tweaking (and a whole lotta tofu, tempeh, beans and other legumes) to make it work. Here are some of my favorite high protein plant-based recipes to get you started.

RECOMMENDING: HOW I ADD 20+ GRAMS PROTEIN TO MEALS

I shared my favorite protein powder a few days ago, but I had someone email me yesterday asking for the link again so I thought it would be fitting to share it again with you today. I add a scoop to my oats, chia puddings, to my homemade bars and bites, and even sometimes I froth it into my coffee. I really can’t recommend this brand enough, I’ve tried a ton and this one is purely pea protein without the additives, binders, or fake flavors and sweeteners.

If I had to make only high protein recipe…

I’d make this bowl with tofu and edamame

I make some variation of this almost every week (in fact, it’s on our meal plan tonight)

Or maybe you’re craving something…

…with tofu and black beans, with minimal prep?

…full of spice, with beans and tofu?

…with high protein pasta and beans?
