high protein means that are fast
Hey, hi. I am in an Exam week and I'd love some recipes that are fast to make. Last year I only ate stuff that didn't really suit my eating habits and fell apart during my workouts.

protein shakes are great. you put some protein powder, leafy greens, frozen fruit, plant milk and whatever else you want into a blender and voila! quick, easy and nutritious
I second this! Pick up a decent vegan protein powder blend and tailor the shake to your needs. I add peanut butter and oats to add some extra fuel to keep up with workouts as well.
If you're lazy enough you can skip recipes altogether. Peanut butter on all the things. Bags of nuts. Protein bars. Mushroom/soy jerky. Morning star corn dogs. Take out dahl makahani. Fake chicken nuggets.
A great summer snack is raw veggies (carrots, bell peppers, cucumbers) dipped in hummus. To make the hummus you just throw chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, salt and garlic into a food processor. Really quick and easy.
My goto easy high protein meal: Scrambled Tofu
Scramble Tofu in a hot pan with oil, add soy sauce and some spices. Fry until a little crispy. Done.
If you want it to look and taste like egg: add turmeric during and kala namak (sulfur salt) after frying.
Add some silk tofu right before it is done but after the turmeric and kala namak, to make it feel even more like scrambled eggs.
Yeah I usually add soy yoghurt for the same reason.
Add some tahini for creaminess and even more protein

I prefer just chickpeas but he uses jackfruit also.
For very quick protein you can't beat 1/4 of a cup of peanuts, a cup of soy milk, or 2 tbsp of peanut butter. All are very quick.
