Indian food, particularly punjabi indian food is mainly vegetarian and high in protein and fiber
My very favorite vegetarian cookbook is called 3 bowls by Seppo Ed Farrey. For protein he uses a lot of beans and lentils, as well as nuts, cheese, and quinoa. The recipes are fantastic! and easy, although some of the ingredients you may have to hunt down in your local health food store or Asian market.
try soya-nuggets. just put thm in boiled salted water for 7-10 min, and add them in ur daily food like rice, salad or veges.

Get a can of soy protein powder from the health food store. Put some type of liquid (soymilk, ricemilk, cowmilk), a ripe banana and another choice of fruit in the blender with a scoop of protein. Bonus points for using frozen fruit, they make the smoothie thicker. To freeze bananas, peel and cut them into chunks and freeze in a plastic bag or tupperware. Don't freeze them with the peel on or you won't get it off. Cut into chunks first or the blender won't be able to handle it.
