Great list. I’d add textured vegetable protein (TVP), which is defatted soy flour, mixed with water and cooked. Also, the Daiya products fall under the category of true vegan “cheeses”.

Hello! I just wanted to add my two cents here since I am a fan of eating more veggie rather than animal-based protein sources. I am constantly on the prowl for good-for-you but still enjoyable-to-eat alternatives and would like to steer everyone clear of a product called Quorn. Once you find out what it’s made of, you’ll thank me for warning you. You can read all about the gory details here: http://tinyurl.com/orhguu (just paste that address into your browser). Anyway, if you want a fantastic veggie burger that will never leave you missing meat, then I highly recommend Morningstar Farms Spicy Black Bean Veggie Burgers — I practically LIVED on them while I was dieting, and I’d eat two on a plate for dinner with a ton of veggies on the side and I’d be totally satisfied for the rest of the evening. That diet helped me to lose 25 pounds!!!

Yesterday I made swiss chard lasagna. Our local supermarket now sells fresh pasta sheets which are great. You don't have to boil them first. Easy, easy, easy! I layered ricotta cheese beaten with eggs, a tsp of grated jarred garlic (from Trader Joe's), grated Italian cheese (a mix of pecorino and parmesan) ( My helpful husband had already steamed the chard after cutting off the tough ends. I squeezed as much liquid as I could from the chard and chopped it up. Then layered the ricotta mix, chard, a generous sprinkling of mixed Italian cheese in a bag (from Trader Joe's) and repeated the process for each layer. I made a quick "light" bechamel from butter and 1% milk. It was very thin which is what I wanted. I poured that all over the top, added a little more grated parm & baked it for about 30 minutes. I took it out, added a little more of the shredded cheese and finished it off for an additional 15 minutes. It kind of had a souffle feeling to it. It's very rich. I only ate a very small square, but that was plenty. Round it off with a nice salad and you have a vegetarian meal that you could serve to company.

Not to be picky but tempeh is NOT technically tofu. It is technically made from soybeans. But they are produced by very different processes. Saying tempeh is technically tofu is like saying bread is technically gravy, because they are both made from flour.

I loved this post! I keep trying to convince my hubby that we don’t have to have meat at every meal. Thanks for some more proof!
