13 Vegan Recipes With More Than 10 Grams of Protein Per Serving
Vegan protein powder is just one of the many ways you can help repair your muscles after your workout. Beyond adding a powder supplement to your smoothies, many vegetables, beans, legumes, nuts, and seeds are considered the healthiest, all-natural sources of vegan protein, according to nutritionists.
To help you incorporate these ingredients into your diet, we compiled a list of 13 vegan protein-rich recipes that contain more than 10 grams of protein per serving and include foods you already love like chickpeas, tofu, lentils, edamame, and plenty more.
In this list, you'll find how to make our Easy Vegan Protein Bar recipe that tastes like a thin mint cookie and has the texture of a chewy brownie. We also have two vegan protein shakes that taste just like dessert, one of the shakes being NFL star Rob Gronkowski's favorite post-game treat made with pea protein. We also serve up the perfect protein-rich main dish, Easy Vegan Meatloaf finished with a homemade glaze, the perfect entrée at your holiday party, and each slice contains 7 grams of protein.
