[QUOTE="Marie 2, post: 2078198, member: 475037"] A lot of your meat substitutes are either soy based or wheat gluten and are a very good source of protein. Yves fake bacon is 5 grams per slice, Gardein or Beyond Meat products are usually around 20 grams for a serving. But these have a higher sodium content and I bet they have a low limit on salt intake. A can of beans is about 20 grams. (You can get unsalted or cook dried beans) A container of refrigerated tofu is about 30 grams. You can make a sauce, dressing or pudding by blending the silk tofu in a blender and adding what you want to flavor it. Cucumber and basil dressing? Berry pudding? Mushrooms, Italian, or green bean dressing? The latest thing with tofu is I have coated it with nutritional yeast and baked it, nice and crispy snack. But I also slice it, marinate it and bake it at a low temperature for a jerky type snack. There are some very famous body builders that are vegan and intake over 100 grams of protein and they usually use a protein drink for it. You can mix a smoothie, stick with a flavor like blueberries, ice and soymilk (About 6-8 grams 8 oz) and put half a scoop or a scoop in it of soy or pea protein unflavored and is usually about 20 grams per scoop. But they also have flavored ones, I prefer soy ones over pea protein. You won't utilize over about 25 grams in one sitting very well, so it's best to stay under the 25 grams each time. The unflavored powder can be added to various foods. They also have a few sugar free vegan powder mix ones out there, sweetened with stevia or a mix of stevia and a sugar alcohol like xylitol. There is a nice premade drink not cheap though from OWYN that is only about 6 carbs and 22 grams of protein. There are also some paleo vegan sites out there. But make sure what amount of protein range they want, on dialysis they might want a min but also still a max? Protein is restricted a lot with kidney disease so you want to make sure of what they are recommending for her specific needs.. [/QUOTE]
