How To Get 100g Vegan Protein in a Day (2024)

If you’re looking to get 100g of vegan protein in a day through high-protein vegan meals, I’ve got you covered!

If you need more than 100g of vegan protein, you can definitely add vegan protein powder or “mock meats” to your daily meals for more protein, but this post specifically covers 100g of vegan protein without vegan protein powders or pre-made vegan meat substitutes!

Don’t get me wrong, I love vegan protein powder or vegan meat substitutes but wanted to make a list of vegan meals and recipes without them 🙂

100g Vegan Protein Meal Prep Recipes

I’ll be covering a vegan breakfast, lunch and dinner that equals 100g of protein! You can meal prep and turn these meals into your high-protein vegan meal prep for the week or just use them as inspiration throughout your week!

If you want to add more protein to your day, you can always add a vegan snack, vegan protein smoothie or add more plant-based protein on top of your meals.

This is one example of a 100g vegan protein meal plan for a day! Feel free to check out more of my vegan high-protein meal prep recipes here!

Scrambled Tofu with Teriyaki Tempeh

Vegan eggs and bacon anyone? I love making scrambled tofu for my vegan breakfast because it’s high in protein & delicious! Tempeh is also an amazing source of vegan protein, and cooked with teriyaki sauce makes it so flavourful but you can use any tempeh product you like!

This vegan breakfast counts for 32% of 100g of vegan protein! So almost 1/3!

Vegan Protein: 32g

Calories: 553

Fat: 22g

Carbs: 59g

Ingredients & Directions:

• 1 tsp oil
• 4 slices of plain tempeh (around 55g)
• 2 tbsp teriyaki sauce
• 1/4 block extra firm tofu
• 1-2 tbsp of my Scrambled Tofu Seasoning
• 1 tomato, chopped
• 1 slice whole wheat bread
• 15 baby carrots
• 2 tbsp hummus

1. Heat oil on a non-stick pan on medium-high heat and add plain tempeh slices to one-third of the pan.
   
2. On another third, crumble up your tofu and on the final third, add chopped tomatoes.
   
3. Cook these separately for a couple of minutes or until most of the water has evaporated from the tofu. Then combine the tofu and tomatoes.
   
4. Add Scrambled Tofu Seasoning to the tofu and tomato mix to make our scrambled tofu.
   
5. Once scrambled tofu is cooked to your liking, set that aside and let the tempeh cook a bit longer if needed.
   
6. Once the tempeh becomes golden brown on both sides, turn the heat to a low and add teriyaki sauce. Flip it over a few times to let the teriyaki absorb into the tempeh.
   
7. Now plate and top your scrambled tofu with green onions and/or ketchup.
   
8. Serve with a side of baby carrots, toast and hummus or other vegetables or fruit.

Tofu Edamame Rice Bowl

For a vegan lunch, I’ll show you how to make a tofu edamame rice bowl! This vegan recipe can be made in 8 mins and has 30g of protein per serving! This Tofu edamame bowl is perfect for high-protein meal prep and you can customize it more to add more protein or veggies!

This vegan lunch counts for 30% of our 100g of vegan protein!

Vegan Protein: 30g

Calories: 527

Fat: 16g

Carbs: 63g

Ingredients & Directions:

• 1/2 tsp vegetable oil
• 1/4 block extra-firm or medium-firm tofu, cut into rectangular slices
• 1 cup broccoli, chopped into bite-sized pieces
• 1/2 cup frozen (or thawed) edamame beans
• 1 cup rice, cooked (brown or white)
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1/2 tsp toasted sesame oil
• 1/4 tsp of kala namak (black salt) or regular salt
• Side options: vegan kimchi

1. Heat oil on a non-stick pan on medium-high heat and add in slices of tofu on one side.
   
2. Move tofu to one-third of the pan, then add in edamame beans (if frozen) and also broccoli. We’re going to lightly cook the broccoli and simply cook edamame beans until they are just thawed.
   
3. Meanwhile, add rice, soy sauce and toasted sesame oil in a serving bowl and mix well.
   
4. Once broccoli and edamame beans are ready, add those into the bowl along with the rice. Tofu will probably take longer to cook.
   
5. Cook the tofu on each side until nicely golden on both sides (around 4-5 minutes on each side).
   
6. Once tofu is cooked, top each piece with a sprinkling of kala namak (for an eggy taste) or regular salt. Feel free to flavour your tofu with other seasonings as well, but since the rice is already flavoured, it isn’t necessary.
   
7. Top the rice bowl with tofu and serve with vegan kimchi (optional). Enjoy as a healthy, high protein and delicious bowl.
