There's so many vegetables out there that provide so much protein without being chock full of soy. I'd actually recommend other sources over soy anyways, as most soy alternatives end up being really processed.
Beans are an amazing choice for getting protein. A cup of boiled black beans, or a cup of boiled chickpeas both contain about 15 g of protein :) A cup of lentils has nearly 18g!
Other super high sources of proteins:
- Seitan (wheat gluten)
- Peas (split, green, black eyed)
- Beans (kidney, black, lima, pinto)
- nuts (almonds, cashews, peanuts, pistachios)
- seeds (pumpkin, sunflower, sesame)
- sprouts
- wheat grass (I actually quite like wheat grass shots)
- Spirulina and chorella (algae.. uhm, I'll pass on that one, but both are over 60% protein)
- brown rice is one of the highest protein containing carbs
- Kale is a decent source
Although I usually push Tayo as a vegan protein alternative to milk, it does contain soy.
