- Dry lentils are the cheapest vegan protein per gram; tinned legumes are close behind and need no cooking.
- Tofu, tempeh and edamame are complete proteins.
- Pair legumes with grains (rice, bread, pasta) across the day.

Questions
What's the cheapest vegan protein at Coles, Woolworths and ALDI?
On 22 October 2026, Katoomba Ingredients Yellow Split Peas 1kg (dry) (Woolworths) at 98.8 g protein per $1, about $0.30 for 30 g of protein.
Which vegan food has the most protein?
Fresh Life Soy Protein Crisps Cocoa 150g (Woolworths) at 77.9 g per 100 g as sold.
Which vegan protein is leanest?
Fresh Life Soy Protein Crisps Cocoa 150g (Woolworths) with 20.4 g protein per 100 kcal.
Is plant protein complete?
Soy foods (tofu, tempeh, edamame) provide all the essential amino acids in good proportions. Legumes are lower in methionine, so pairing them with grains across the day covers the gap.
What counts as vegan here?
Only foods whose protein comes from soy or legumes (tofu, tempeh, edamame, lentils, beans, chickpeas). We don't flag bars, drinks, powders or ready meals as vegan because we haven't checked their full ingredient lists.
