Potatoes are wicked. Also lentils & beans.

Eat a box of pasta with a protein source like tofu, setain, or a bean. Also there's now these soy/black bean/edamame pastas I'll link below that have stupid amounts of protein in them. Trust me my friend gaining weight as a vegan is extremely easy. Stick to your grains, bean,and gluten sources like breads and pasta.

> I'm a girl and too much estrogen can be harmful
Sure. But soy contains phytoestrogen, which is an agonist/antagonist of estrogen. Though research is still unclear about the pros and cons about phytoestrogens, it has been shown to inhibit estrogen-dependent cancers. And Asian populations, where soy is a staple, have historically had lower rates of cardiovascular disease, menopausal symptoms, breast cancer (and other hormone dependent cancers), diabetes and obesity than Western populations. I don't think there are any reasons to be more afraid of soy than say, the arsenic content in your rice.
>being vegan is expensive + organic = even more expensive.
I actually don't think a plant-based diet needs to be more expensive. But the trade-off is to spend more time in the kitchen and that might be impractical for most people.
>personal ninja blender and a juicer
Not familiar with that brand, but if it is a blender that is really powerful, so you can blend cashews, for example, into a very smooth paste, then that is the No. 1 kitchen appliance for a vegan! A food processor would save time chopping, but it might be unnecessary unless you meal prep a lot. I think a juicer is great to get those micronutrients in an easy and fast way. I don't have one, but thinking of getting one.
>i also mentioned i don't own a microwave, so would that get in the way of meal-prepping?
I love my microwave. Heating leftovers is just one of its uses. I use it often to cook potatoes, carrots, vegetables, defrost and roast cashew nuts (1,5min without oil, it's great). The microwave also retain micronutrients more efficiently than frying or baking. I don't think it would get in the way of meal-prepping, but it makes life a bit easier, for sure.
I think you would like Mary's test kitchen. Not always always healthy, but a good balance of practical, easy, healthy and not so healthy recipes. (A very realistic vegan diet.) Most are also budget friendly.
Vegan sauces
Cultured cashew cheese
Vegan nacho cheese
Instead of gluten-free pasta, consider bean pasta?
I like this:

It’s an Amazon link, but I usually buy it at my local grocery store or in bulk at Costco.
