High-Protein Vegan Foods

Where do vegans get their protein? From these powerhouse plant foods. No mystery, no supplements required.

The protein MVPs

These foods form the foundation of a high-protein vegan diet. You don't need all of them — pick a few favourites and rotate.

Tofu

Versatile, affordable, and a complete protein. Works in stir-fries, scrambles, curries, and more.

Tempeh

Fermented soybeans with a nutty flavour. Higher protein than tofu, great for bowls and sandwiches.

Seitan

Made from wheat gluten. One of the highest-protein plant foods available. Perfect for "meaty" dishes.

Lentils

Quick-cooking, budget-friendly, and packed with protein + fibre. Great in soups, curries, and salads.

Edamame

Young soybeans. Snack on them, add to bowls, or blend into dips.
