Hi all! I’m newly unemployed and seeking help for meal prep. I have an autoimmune disease and I feel much better when I eat clean.
Unemployment doesn’t pay out a lot so I can’t always buy meat.
What are some protein replacements for meat?
I know meat and tofu. But I’m looking for meals.
I was thinking about Korean stews and black bean burgers. Things like that, I can eat bread I just get grain free.
But that alone is $10, so I free it and treat it like a treat lol.
MeganBecause lentils were already mentioned: chickpeas are great
You can make them into a crunchy snack, or hummus, or use them in recipes were you’d normally use chickenPeople have also found luck baking with them and dessert hummus is delicious
KarenLentils are a good source of protein. There actually is some protein in all plant foods some more than other.
For example a cup of broccoli has 2.6 grams of protein.
Beans also have a decent amount and have lots of fiber.
I am vegan and never have problems meeting the recommended protein levels.
Americans are rarely ever protein deficient but 97% of people don’t get enough fiber.
Soy curls are another easy to use source of protein.
They are minimally processed and I buy them directly from Butler foods.
AllisonDo you know someone who is a member of Sam’s Club? Ask if you can go with them so you can get a $4.99 rotisserie chicken.
LindaCottage cheese is high in protein for serving size. Yoghurt, milk, other cheeses are good.
Beans in stews/chilis/soups are a great source.
MelissaI add peanut butter to my oatmeal. Lentils in spaghetti sauce, sloppy joes, chili…
There are so many bean dishes.
WilmaRipe bananas, applesauce, avocado. Are ingredients that can be used to make desserts.
Watch You tube.
I know ther is avocado ice cream.
I made cookies with a rioe mashed banana baking soda and oatmeal.
Also if you need help a food bank can help.
That is why they exist.
NorineCottage cheese is a good choice. Also, not protein packed but bananas a fiber rich and a good budget food.
Peanut butter or any nut butter is a good source of protein too,
YvetteLearn to cook Indian food and Chinese vegetarian. Also, eggs and canned sardines are great convenient affordable proteins.
CrystalI love hummus veggie wraps. I make mine with hummus, cucumbers, spinach, bell peppers, carrots and sometimes tomatoes.
NeshaEggs are wonderful! So many easy things you can make for dinner. We have omelets or scrambled eggs with vegetables once/week.
KatrinaBroccoli is a great source of protein. Buy the frozen to help cut down waste.
Jiff peanut butter (no xylitol in ingredients) is a go to protein snack for me.
RobinEggs…omelets, egg salad, quiche, egg fu yong with veggies
ShawnQuinoa I make it beforehand and stir fry it with kale or spinach.
