Seitan: It’s versatile, absorbs flavors effortlessly, and packs a serious protein punch. Grill it, stir-fry it, or toss it into stews for a hearty, plant-based protein boost.

Silken Tofu: Creamy & Protein-Rich
Silken tofu adds a touch of luxury to your meals while delivering a solid protein kick. Blend it into smoothies, stir it into soups, or include it in desserts for a creamy texture.

Legume Pasta: Say goodbye to regular pasta and try tucking into some legume pastas for an easy protein boost without scarifying your fav pasta dish! 🍝

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
1 teaspoon Cajun spice blend (adjust to taste)

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) or Gas Mark 6.
Rinse and drain the chickpeas, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
In a bowl, combine the chickpeas and thawed edamame beans.
Drizzle olive oil over the mixture and toss to coat evenly.
In a separate small bowl, mix together the nutritional yeast and Cajun spice blend.
Sprinkle the nutritional yeast and Cajun spice mixture over the chickpeas and edamame beans, tossing to ensure all the beans are well coated.

There’s nothing wrong with a hummus & veggie wrap, especially as it’s often one of the only things available when out, but if you’re preparing it at home here’s some ways to increase the protein!

1. I’ve used flatbread for both, but you could use a higher protein wrap, I’m seeing more vegan ones available now!

2. Instead of regular hummus swap for reduced fat as it’ll have a higher percentage of calories from protein then, or try my silken tofu hummus recipe as that’s crammed with protein!

3. Add a protein source like tofu, tempeh, seitan or some vegan meat alternatives!

4. Instead of mayo I’ve used a dressing of soy yogurt, nutritional yeast, spices & pickle juice mixed together on top!

Now you’ve turned this wrap into a high protein meal with a few small changes!
