What Protein To Feed A Vegan?


one more mile

Recommended Posts

My 20 year old kid is coming home for a week and is just starting to suspect that she is one of us. She also can not eat meat ( even organic meat tends to make her ill. She actually turns gray when she eats predue chicken) She had eaten vegan for a year and felt better on and off, but then the protein she ate had wheat in it. Soy makes her ill. She spent most of her life obese and we have been struggling for years to figure out what she can and cannot eat. Eating Vegan is the only way she has found to maintain her weight.

She will be off meal plan in college this semester and needs some ideas that are easy. At school she runs and lifts so she needs protein.

Thanks all,

One more mile.

Beans! Doesn't have to be soy. There are black, kidney, canelli, chickpeas, pinto, small red, all kinds. Peas contain protein too. Bean dip. Hummus.

Then there are nuts and seeds. Chia seeds are high in protein and go well in smoothies or just made into a gel and eaten as is. You can make faux cheese out of nuts.

Sprouts are high in protein.

You can get stuff like Chreese that is a lentil based faux cheese. The nacho Chreese is excellent to dip veggies or corn chips in. They also make a gluten free pasta and chreese.

Namaste makes gluten free pasta that contain protein in the form of hemp seeds.

For a quick vegan chili, combine three kinds of canned beans, a can of corn and a jar of salsa. Heat through and serve over rice, topped with things like cheese (can use rice or nut cheese), tomatoes, onion, cilantro, etc.

I like to make nachos with canned refried beans (can take cooked pinto beans and mash, adding a bit of olive oil if needed), rice cheese, salsa, onions and olives. Yum!

Quinoa is a complete protein grain, gluten free, easy to prepare and good.

Quinoa is excellent and can be prepared so many ways. You could use veggie broth instead of water and cook. Then stir fry some veggies in olive oil, add the cooked quinoa for 5 minutes at the end. Delicious and nutritious!!! Mrs. Dash also does wonders for different flavor quinoa dishes.

Quinoa is great for breakfast too with fruit and cinnamon. Here is a link to a vegan blog that has links to many others, not all recipes are gluten-free but many are and some use soy but maybe you can get some ideas.

Today I bagged up some trail mix for my gluten-free/vegan dd's lunch at school. I plan to bag up some for my other gluten-free dd to take to work so she can munch on it instead of popcorn, she said just fruit makes her more hungry.

This is what I had on hand

Raw, unsalted pumpkin seeds, shelled

Raw, unsalted sunflower kernals

Peanuts

Unsalted mixed nuts

Raw, unsalted cashews

Chocolate chips

Chopped dates

My gluten-free/vegan dd eats lots of stir frys. She puts cashews or peanuts on it. If your dd can't have soy try different sauces. Before gluten-free I had a frozen one from Walmart with BBQ sauce...it sounded strange but I thought it was great when I tried it.

Meatless chili. Skip the cheese and throw on some Fritos, plain. Add corn or rice for a variety. Put chili on baked or fried potatoes...mmm.

Nuts, seeds or beans on green salads

Rice, corn, beans and tomato dishes are fast.

Layered mexican bean dip with fresh veggies on top made with fresh guacamole...mmm

Homemade minestone soup, leave out the meat

Core an apple, fill with peanut butter.

Mexican style spaghetti, leave out the meat and add some beans:

Does she have a way to cook at college?

I can't eat rice, so I make Mexican quinoa--it's full of vegetables and good protein. Eat it with beans for a complete meal!

She should have a place to cook. right now finding a place for her to bring her dog is number one. She may have found a place in Vermont where she can have her dog and share a kitchen with a woman who is also gluten intolerant. I hope that works for her. she has a lot to learn. and she is a little confuessed by it all right now so this woman could be a godsend.

I really hope that works out. but we have to see if the home owner is allergic to her dog first.

I will give her the peanut ideas but due to my allergies we do not have peanuts in my house.

Thanks for all the great ideas and links, I had forgotten about Quinoa.

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/  When I looked this one up I didn't see any gluten ingredients.

      Your situation is actually more common than many realize, and while confusing, there are logical explanations for your test results. The key points are that your biopsy showing villous blunting and increased lymphocytes does indicate intestinal damage typically seen in celiac disease, despite your negative blood tests. This phenomenon is known as seronegative celiac disease, which affects about 10% of celiac patients. Your partial HLA-DQ2 genetic result doesn't rule out celiac either, as a small percentage of celiac patients don't have the complete genetic markers. The fact that you've responded so dramatically to a gluten-free diet is another strong indicator that this is likely celiac...

      Hi all, I have to have gum surgery tomorrow and was wondering if I should ask for this new drug, Journavx, instead of Vicodin.  I tried looking it up online and got, Not gluten free.  There is no gluten in the ingredients for this drug.  ????  Has anyone else had experience with Journavx?  Advice?   Many thanks, Charlotte

      Hi Faye,  Sorry I didn't see your post sooner.  I suffered from ataxia as well.  None of my drs. thought it was dairy.  They were wrong.  Turns out lactose intolerance was the cause.  Pancreas just isn't making the enzymes like it used to.  I now drink lactose free milk for the calcium and eat lactose free yogurt by Green Valley, when I can find it.  My ataxia problems vanished.  Hope this helps.

      This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
