"Where do you get your proteins from?" is a common question that vegans are asked a lot. A varied and well-planned planted based diet should provide you with all the proteins your body needs (see https://www.onegreenplanet.org/vegan-food/vegan-sources-of-protein/ and https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/protein-for-vegans-vegetarians for more information).
Should you need more, ready-to-mix powders might be a good option. Check first for high protein content, i.e. over 75%.
