Struggling-High protein foods

[PTree15]

A lot of people overlook easy high protein sources. We get locked into the protein sources like tofu, and ignore the wider variety of sources. White beans blended create a really tasty cream soup, sauce, or dip. I've become a fan of a YouTube channel called Tortellino. He is an elderly man who shows the easy recipes from his childhood. Most are meat free, and I just use nutritional yeast to replace parmesan, and soy or cashew milk to replace dairy. Veggie broth can replace chicken broth. I made his frozen pea creamy pasta last week, and it was quite tasty. I just blended half the peas, poured it on the dried pasta, added water, cooked it for 10 minutes, and then sprinkled nutritional yeast on top.

I, also, like Merle.

I love Merle! I just watched that video on the high protein TikTok recipes. I love the idea of putting caramelized onions on the chickpea salad sandwich. Yum!

The hardest part of becoming vegan for me has been protein sources. Before I tried going vegan I already didn't eat many animal products, since they're expensive. However, I'd usually still have about 1-2lbs of meat a week. Now I am trying to eat more plant based protein and I am struggling with unfamiliar textures, which repulse me. I've tried tofu and lentils, but I have a hard time actually eating them because they feel unpleasant to me. There are only two high protein vegetables I'm used to: black and kidney beans. While they're nice to have I ultimately don't want to be eating those constantly.

Anybody have any suggestions on how to deal with the texture sensitivity or "getting used to" unfamiliar foods?
