Any recipe ideas or snacks that are high in protein that do not involve meat?

Question

I am 4 months pregnant and do not like eating meat all of the sudden so I fear I am losing sources of protein. I wanted to see if there were other foods high in protein or recipes to substitute not eating meat.

Answer 1

For snacks, Nuts, string cheese, hard boiled eggs, edamame (soy beans), lentil salad, hummus, peanut butter (use it as a dip for baby carrots), cottage cheese.

For non-meat, high protein meals, just make anything with beans or lentils.  A nice homemade minestrone soup with lots of beans and fresh veggies would be perfect.  You can also do pasta with veggies and chick peas or white beans.

Answer 2

Peanut Butter is packed with protein! So are beans. Also try Special K protein waters, protein bars, etc. They're actually REALLY good! Hope I helped!
