What about other legumes? I'm not vegan currently, but I have eaten that way in the past and I do often eat meals without dairy or egg as the main protein and I rarely eat soy. Tonight's dinner was brown basmati rice and steamed broccoli topped with dal (fried onions, garlic, curry powder and pink lentils cooked into a yummy soup/sauce). Yesterday I had pinto bean/veggie burritos on whole wheat tortillas with salsa and guacamole.
Veggie bean chili, hummus, split pea soup, other lentil and bean soups are all protein rich and can be made vegan. Bean salads make quick and easy protein sources at lunch or for a snack.
You can also get almond and rice milks/ice creams.
Almond butter and cashew butter are devine on toasted bread with a bit of jam.
Whole grains have more protein than the "whites".
