We grew up eating tofu and its amazingly versatile in cooking. TVP is another staple for vegetarians that can be used in a myriad of ways. Great list!

Beans and Tofu are wonderful replacements for traditional protein. Grilled Tofu is a fav in my house and especially when seasoned with olive oil, salt and fresh ground black pepper.

I love most beans. And as for tofu…you’re right, it has no taste, lol. But, I guess you could say that about things like rice or grits. It tastes like the other flavors you put in it.

Great way to up my protein. I want to try flavoring tofu for my next smoothie.

I think there are “tofu presses” one can use to press the stuff so that it’s not just a damp wet mass.

I tried tofu once and hated it! BUT I did not know any of this stuff about getting the water out, freezing it. Going to try it again

This is a great post. I’ve never heard of Seitan. Beans are my go-to, they’re so easy to find.

I am sure I would not eat any of these suggestions for protein. I do, however, eat peanut butter and nuts. I frequently drin a protein drink also. I need all the energy I can get.

I have never tried any of these things and probably never will. But I love learning about how to become a vegetarian. Who knows maybe someday I will give it a try.

Well these are definitely some interesting ingredients and ways to boost your protein intake! My mom used to eat tofu when I was a kid, and surprisingly I didn’t mind eating it with her. I have never had Seitan though, I am not sure if I would like it but I would give it a try. I am a meat lover so it may not be a favorite. 🙂 Thank you so much for sharing all of these!

I have not heard of TVP but will look it up. I love tofu. It just takes the flavor of whatever I am cooking.

I have not tried these but have used soy for added protein. hen my husband was going through radiation, there wasnt a whole lot he could eat comfortably. I was pushing protein to help him heal. He literally lived off of milkshakes laced with lots of soy protein powder. It kept his weight up and the Drs were amazed how well he did.

I like using TVP in soups and stews when I take them to a potluck where some people are vegetarians.
