What Vegan Foods Have Protein?

Protein is an essential nutrient for muscle repair, energy, and overall health. Many people assume that only animal products provide enough protein, but there are plenty of plant-based foods packed with this vital macronutrient. Whether you're vegan, vegetarian, or just looking to reduce meat consumption, here are some excellent vegan protein sources—plus a handy way to prepare them with the Whall Toaster !

High-Protein Vegan Foods

1. Lentils (18g protein per cooked cup)

Lentils are a fantastic source of protein and fiber. Use them in soups, stews, or even veggie burgers.

2. Chickpeas (15g protein per cooked cup)

Great in hummus, salads, or roasted for a crunchy snack. Try making crispy chickpeas in the Whall Toast Oven for a protein-packed, quick snack!

3. Tofu & Tempeh (10-20g protein per serving)

Versatile soy-based proteins that can be grilled, baked, or stir-fried. The Whall Toast Oven’s even heating is perfect for baking tofu to crispy perfection.

4. Quinoa (8g protein per cooked cup)

A complete protein containing all nine essential amino acids. Use it as a rice substitute or in breakfast bowls.

5. Nuts & Seeds (5-10g protein per ounce)

Almonds, chia seeds, hemp seeds, and pumpkin seeds are excellent for smoothies, oatmeal, or as toppings.

6. Seitan (25g protein per 3.5 oz)

Made from wheat gluten, seitan is a meaty, high-protein option for sandwiches and stir-fries.
