I can get 100g of protein from chicken or fish for dirt cheap, and it’s delicious.
What would be the cheapest way to get 100g of protein from vegan options?

Seitan powder. You can get 100g of protein for less than a dollar, and it tastes however you want it to. I tend to add some better than bouillon and a little oil to the mixture (still less than a dollar) before steaming it, then use it like deli meat or spam, but there are a lot of different techniques and you can use whatever’s best for you.

You can also often get TVP for pretty cheap, as it’s a byproduct of vegetable oil production. Might be sold as “soy chunks” or similar. In particular, you can prepare it to be chewy like a steak, which one might miss from other vegan options…
