Ever tried searching for “high-protein vegan recipes” only to be disappointed by what you’ve found?
If your experiences are like mine, you’ve been frustrated to see that a lot of supposed “high-protein” vegan recipes either don’t actually have that much protein or don’t list how much protein is in them.
That’s why I created this list of 107 high-protein vegan recipes from all over the internet. Each recipe has 20+ grams of protein per serving, so you don’t need to guess how much you’re getting in each high-protein vegan meal.
