I eat a lot of Greek yogurt and cottage cheese. My yogurt bowls tend to be sweet and my cottage cheese bowls tend to be savory.
I eat some tofu (usually crispy from air fryer + a sauce) in grain bowls.
I make smoothies with Greek yogurt, almond milk, frozen cherries, chia, and chocolate protein powder.
I'm rely a lot on eggs for protein. Not sure if you do eggs? If you do, eggs really are the answer.

There are a number of plant-based protein shakes that are good and also help, but I need ideas for food as I can't just drink protein shakes all day. Any ideas?
No one in America "needs" more protein.[b] But if you really want to get protein--go to McDonalds, KFC, Panda Express, Wendys, Chipotle, like every other American.

I have one orgain shake a day - 140 cal, 20 protein. Easy start.
Oatmeal - half oats, half TVP, fruit, nuts, seeds, about 18 grams of protein. Make it with soy milk to add another 10 grams of protein!
Veggie wraps - those mission low carb tortillas are 5 protein each so two of them plus tons of veggies and either tofu, seitan, or tempeh makes a 30 protein meal easily. I use silken tofu to make higher protein dressings, they’re great.
Morningstar veggie burgers are like 110 calories and 10 grams of protein! Add them to whatever you want, chop them up into pasta sauce or just wrap in a high protein tortilla.
Tofu stir fries, fruit smoothies with soy milk, huge salads with tofu and beans, the list goes on and on.
Try googling wfpb + protein. Don’t listen to the idiots, they’re all angry because their arteries are clogged with animal fats and the blood’s not getting to their brains.
