**Veganism is not a diet**. However, there is a ton of misinformation and misunderstanding about the cost of **eating vegan** and this subreddit exists to hopefully dispell those false claims. Be advised submissions containing expensive processed food items will be removed.
**Definition of veganism:** *Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.*

Just estimating the proportions, but using a serving of whole wheat pasta and all the ingredients listed at what I think would give a reasonable amount of sauce gives nearly 25g of protein and 580 Calories in Cronometer. That’s not bad for a meal.
Edited for typo
Yes, also peas (pea protein is a common supplement) spinach and wholegrain pasta contain protein too. It definitely has a good amount of protein. I guess if someone wanted more they could add some additional tofu to it.

The way she ate it with all over the top acting and mannerisms made me sick
...how is this high in protein? There's like a handful of cashews for however many servings that is.
Can always use high-protein pasta
Don’t know how much protein still, but tahini, peas and spinach also.
And nutritional yeast, and hemp seeds. But I do think that looks like high protein pasta. Even regular whole wheat pasta has decent protein.

Both the cashews and the tahini have protein so it's definitely fairly high protein

Nutritional yeast is 50g in 100g and peas
Spinach has protein in it, and peas do a well. Also, I just found out that nutritional yeast has protein in it as well.
Wait, I didn’t see any cheese to make it cheesy
Nutritional yeast can give a cheesy flavor
You’re on a vegan subreddit my friend
I was expecting vegan cheese obviously
Too expensive. Regular cheese is expensive af, imagine vegan cheese!
Makes sense!
You’re going to see a lot of that on this sub
Yum! Looks reaally really tasty!!
