Does anyone know any good recipes for vegetarians?

Question

I am a vegetarian, but I lack in protein. I need some simple recipes that I can make that have protein in them. Does anyone know of any easy to make protein shakes or meals of any sort? Or simple foods that have protein in them?

Answer 1

Go to Culinary Chef at http://www.culinarychef.com for a lot of vegetarian recipes, and even special occasion vegetarian menus.

Answer 2

You may like this shake that I found:

"Ed's Protein Shake

In a blender, combine the following:

2 bananas
1 tsp of bee pollen
1-2 Tbs of honey, or sweeten to taste
1/2 whole lemon -- rind, seeds, and all
6 walnuts
Strawberries, when available

Put all the above in 1/2 to 2 cup water, depending on how thin you like your drink. Then blend it all to the desired consistency.

A regular protein shake never tasted this good.

Answer 3

My very favorite vegetarian cookbook is called 3 bowls by Seppo Ed Farrey. For protein he uses a lot of beans and lentils, as well as nuts, cheese, and quinoa. The recipes are fantastic! and easy, although some of the ingredients you may have to hunt down in your local health food store or Asian market.

Answer 4

Get a can of soy protein powder from the health food store. Put some type of liquid (soymilk, ricemilk, cowmilk), a ripe banana and another choice of fruit in the blender with a scoop of protein. Bonus points for using frozen fruit, they make the smoothie thicker. To freeze bananas, peel and cut them into chunks and freeze in a plastic bag or tupperware. Don't freeze them with the peel on or you won't get it off. Cut into chunks first or the blender won't be able to handle it.
