After some brooding, I had a small Eureka moment. Waffles! Some experiments later, I came up with this delicious recipe. The waffles are easy to make and very high in protein, so they are perfect for a quick filling meal. One waffle has about 4 or 5 grams of carbohydrate. If you replace the soy flour with protein powder the carb count is only 2 or 3 grams per waffle. That's really low, especially for such a traditional carb food like waffles!

You might wonder if a vegan low carbohydrate diet isn't overly restrictive. It's true that it cuts out quite a few things most people are used to eating, both animal products and carby foods like grains. But really, there are plenty of things left to make up a healthy nutritionally complete and tasty varied diet. I tried to list all the things you can eat while being low carb and vegan. Building blocks for a healthy animal and environmentally friendly diet!

Tempeh is one of my favorite proteins. It's really quick and easy to prepare and very versatile because you can spice it up all kinds of different ways. In this salad I went with a nice smoky marinade that combines really well with the creamy avocado and the tangy balsamic vinaigrette.

This tofu-based cream cheese is a new favorite. It's like vegan Boursin! It's a really quick recipe too. Just wizz everything in a high speed blender or foodprocessor, dump it into a container and put it in the fridge overnight to firm up. No long fermentation or hard to find ingredients. I've already brought it to a few potlucks and family events and everybody likes it, vegans and omnis alike, so it's a real winner!

I'm so happy I invented this bread! The recipe makes a great high protein low carb bread with a nice authentic flavor. It's not at all gummy like some gluten based low carb breads are. It's pretty dense and stick-to-your-ribs, almost like Ezekiel, but still has a lovely soft crumb.
