@blindly28 I splurge on Sun Warrior vanilla flavored powder. I make vegan pudding with it…. but normally I just use TVP due to price and versatility. either taco meat or burger patties most nights. I’m out of the habit but I used to make enough seitan to last a few days at once.

@themrsbeth I’ve never heard of Sun Warrior. Making pudding with it definitely sounds interesting… do you have a particular recipe?

@blindly28 One of my favourites: Protein powder made from pumpkin press cake. Very tasty!

 

[blindly28]

@buddy_holly Oooh I’ve never heard of that. I’ll look into it! Thank you!

@blindly28 Fava bean protein powder!

 

[blindly28]

@sapiens I’ve never heard of that one. Though I feel like I’ve been saying that to every suggestion I’ve received on this thread lol. I’ll look into it, thank you!

@blindly28 Red lentil pasta is some of my favorite. Has great texture and has 25G of protein per serving. We typically get Barilla Red Lentil, it’s about $3/box.

My girlfriend and I have been experimenting with silken tofu as a base for creamy pasta sauce, and that right there will add protein in with your sauce as well.

@eleader22 Thank you!

@blindly28 Celiacs?

@blindly28 Have you ever tried pumfu? It's pumpkin seed tofu and its an odd texture (imo) but it's packed with protein

 

[blindly28]

@felicitypenny I haven’t! I’ll have to look into it. Thank you!

 

[felicitypenny]

@blindly28 Sure thing it's more expensive so if you have a good blender you can make it or use lentils or probably other things too! Check out alternative tofus
