Top 6 Sources of Protein for Vegetarians
4. Beans and lentils
Just a cup of lentils had more protein content than three ounces of beef. You can either eat them raw, soaked in water and garnished or you can cook them. Red beans, kidney beans, black beans and almost all kinds of beans are also pretty high in protein content and can be had very single day. You can boil beans and have it as a snack or incorporate it into your meals.
5. Eggs and yogurt
Diary is not vegan but definitely vegetarian and these two foods are great sources of protein for everyone. Make sure that you choose plain yogurt as flavored yogurt is more processed and does not contain the same amounts of protein. You can also have one egg in the mornings to get your daily dosage of protein.
6. Spinach
Popeye gets his muscles after a can of spinach. And although the series might exaggerate the benefits of spinach to a great extent, it is true that spinach has a good amount of protein that your body needs. Boiled greens are a great way to get the protein you need.
