The recommendation for protein for adult male vegans is around 56-70 grams per day; for adult female vegans it is around 46-58 grams per day.
It is very easy for a vegan diet to meet the recommendations for protein.
Nearly all vegetables, beans, grains, nuts, and seeds contain some (and often a lot of) protein. Fruits, sugars, fats, and alcohol do not provide much protein, so a diet based only on these foods would have a good chance of being too low in protein.
