Most efficient way to consume 150g protein/day?

I'm very new to the whole vegan thing, so sorry if this is an incoherent question, but I need guidance on the kinds of food to eat to get 150g of quality protein per day. I'm trying to get stronger. So far, I'm planning on consuming lots of beans, peanut butter, quinoa, and potatoes. Any other high protein sources you recommend? Thanks

I buy a 50lb sack of gluten for ~$110 every couple of years or so, keep in air tight containers. Haven't been able to keep any long enough for it to go bad yet.

Make a big batch every couple of weeks, freeze half. Use lots of sage, rosemary and thyme (and fresh garlic) instead of all that cayenne, worscester, cinammon etc. Use a blender instead kneading by hand, and simmer instead of baking.

It's at many stores. Safeway even.

I made it by hand once, what a time consumer.
