Make sure you get the firm tofu for stir fry and the silken tofu would be for making smoothies. Soy milk also adds protein. There are many vegan protein bars and protein powders that easily add 20g of protein. Snack on nuts, peanut butter, edamame. What about tuna or shrimp? If you are ok eating those they are loaded with protein. Look into multivitamins if you plan to be vegan: You’ll want to read up on B12, iodine and iron.
Thanks, LilyMop. I like all those things. I love tofu, but I never use it, I guess because I never really learned how to cook it. Thanks for the tips!!
