If you're going the vegan route, the best way to get your vegetable proteins is by eating them in their normal state, instead of heavily processed into faux meats or cheeses. They're also mostly very inexpensive as ingredients, which is important when so many other grocery prices are rising.

A black-bean burrito, fresh-ground peanut butter on whole wheat bread, white bean and kale stew, lentil soup, hummus on a whole-grain pita, chickpea curry on brown basmati rice, etc. etc. are all delicious vegan dishes with a reasonably high amount of protein.

If you're fully vegan, also remember to take a B12 supplement, because it's very difficult to get your B12 from plant-based sources (you'd have to eat a *lot* of flax or nutritional yeast).
