Is there any high-protein vegan food that does not require cooking?

Question

Wow thanks everybody, these are great suggestions!

Answer 1

Nuts, soy sprouts and tofu if you like it raw (I know I do, specially with a bit of olive oil and some herbs).


Go vegan :-)

Answer 2

Nuts and seeds are a good source. Most veggies have some protein content and can be eaten raw. Many grains and some legumes can be sprouted and the sprouts eaten raw. I'm not sure if you're looking for raw foods, per se, or just things *you* don't have to cook; if it's the latter, canned chickpeas (or even other canned beans) are good as a high-protein snack or sprinkled on a salad. Hummus and whole grain breads are good, too.

Answer 3

Tempeh. It tastes better cooked but is just a fermented soy product so not necessary. You could probably marinade it and eat it w/o cooking it. I generally marinade it using: shoyu, balsamic vinegar, agave nectar, spices, sesame oil, and nutritional yeast. IMO tempeh absorbs flavors better than tofu. It also has a pleasant nutty taste and texture that I find better than tofu. Tempeh also has more protein than tofu, and fermented soy is generally considered healthy even by people that are somewhat scared of soy.

Here is the wiki article for more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempeh

Whole foods carries lots of different types. I like the organic three grain blend (has grain in addition to the bean)

NUTS, Seeds, Can Beans: like Black Beans,
Chickpeas, Ready Made Hummus, Soy & Rice Cheeses.
