I'm not vegan, just vegetarian. Although I will only have ice-cream, milk, yogurts and margarine that is made from soya, and some meals are entirely vegan. Yesterday was one such occasion. For my main I had:
Nut cutlets, with
Roasted butternut squash, carrots, red pepper, onions and garlic, and
New potatoes
Topped with vegetable stock
Followed by:
Poached pears, with
Rich dark chocolate (vegan) ice-cream
Yum! It was gorgeous

Thanks for the reply.
I am quite surprised about the protein though.... I would have thought that the nuts would have lots of protein and the ice cream made from soya ??
I do have plenty of vegetarian meals that are packed with protein, so if I have it wrong on this one, then I'm confident that over the course of the week I do get enough. I hope.

Pro I hadn't noticed that it was soya in the ice cream. Maybe it is OK then, especially if your cutlets were nice and nutty! You get the minimum daily required 60g of protein from about 100 brazil nuts. Soya is great for it, of course.
I imagine a vegan with a soy allergy would have to be careful.

Not sure on the cutlets - they were shop bought, not homemade, so probably more 'packing out' ingredients than nuts! But as you say, the soya in the ice cream may be enough.

My daughter whos now & was on a milk free diet from about 2. she used to love Swedish Galce "ice cream". I had to taste it myself and it was great.

Swedish Glace - that's the one! It's gorgeous, so creamy, and the rich chocolate one has chocolate chunks in... well not quite... the ingredients list says chocolate flavoured, which seems a bit odd. I would have thought they would have just put Green & Blacks chocolate chunks in, but not so. But gorgeoud nonetheless.

Excellent vegan dinner! Not much protein in it though...
