Tamsin Gale’s High-Protein Vegan Dishes for Busy Days

Tamsin Gale is no stranger to busy days. Between work deadlines, parenting, and marathon training, her schedule barely lets her sit down—let alone plan elaborate meals.


“I needed food that could keep up with me,” she says. “Fast, filling, and fully plant-based.” Bloom Nutrition Superfood Greens Powder, Digestive Enzymes with Probiotics and Prebiotics, Gut Health


What she didn’t want was another smoothie or sad salad. “I love being vegan, but I wasn’t hitting my protein goals—and I could feel it,” she explains. “I was fatigued and constantly hungry again two hours later.”


So she began reworking her meals around one simple question: Where’s the protein? She leaned into ingredients like lentils, quinoa, tempeh, edamame, and tofu—foods that didn’t just tick the vegan box, but kept her energized well past lunch.


Her secret weapon became batch-prepping high-protein bases—like a spiced lentil stew or baked tofu cubes—that could mix and match through the week.


A wrap one day, a bowl the next, a stir-fry by Thursday. “It’s about building a rhythm, not reinventing every meal,” Tamsin says.


Now, she no longer worries about flagging energy levels or cravings. And the best part? Her kids started loving the meals too. “They call it ‘power food,’” she laughs. “And that’s exactly what it is.”
