It's very possible to get enough protein on a vegan diet but you'll need to make more of a concerted effort to get the full “family” of amino acid building blocks which our body uses to manufacture muscle and other vital tissue, and are essential for the body’s repair and regeneration needs. Here's a list of some high protein sources besides the Lentils you mentioned:...I am vegetarian when I cook at home (I eat eggs, cheese, drink milk). What about if I try to become vegan ? What about proteins ? Lentils are good !
1. Quinoa is a complete protein just like meat.
2. Avocado has about 5 grams of protein per 8 ounces
3. Dried Apricots also have 5 grms per 8oz
4. Soy Milk has 7 grams per 8 oz
5. Walnuts, Pistachios, and Almonds (also peanut butter)
6. Tofu and Tempeh has 11 grams of protein in 1 serving
7. Kidney beans have 15 grams per serving
8. Broccoli
9. Steel Cut Oatmeal
10. Chick Peas have 16 grams per serving
11. Low-Carb Flat Breads like whole-grain Tortillas
have 30 grams each (check the nutrition label to verify)
12. Fortified cereals (?)
