Since I know this is going to be a big question for people, I'm creating a list of Protein sources for vegan and vegetarians and in no particular order:

Green peas

Quinoa

Nuts

Peanut Butter

Beans

Chickpeas or garbanzo beans

Tempeh

Tofu

Edemama

Hemp

Chia seeds

Sesame seeds

Seitan

Yogurt

cheese

eggs

Lentils

Milk

Black Eyed Peas

TVP (Textured Vegetable Protein)

Cottage cheese

Buckwheat

Hummus

Spirulina

Any more?

Thank for the list. There are so many different protein foods many people do not consider eating

If anyone can add to it please let me know. I do try.

Green leafy veg such as spinach. Honestly it may surprise many but there is protein in just about everything. Half a navel orange has 1 gm of protein. Alternative milk sources are everywhere. I drink almond or rice milk. There's also hemp, cashew, soy, coconut & hazelnut.

Digesting large quantizes of meat is impossible for me. My tummy is tiny now, so when I eat, I better get as many dense nutrients in it as I can. I can only drink so many shakes, but I love a big green salad which provides me with rich nutrients and protein for my body.

I make a chickpea salad out of mashed chickpeas, mayo, lemon juice and salt and pepper. You can also add grated carrots and or chopped green pepper or celery for crunch and flavor.
