Where Vegetarians Get Their Proteins From

Green Peas

Enjoy a cup of cooked peas along with your salads from now on as that would be around 4 grams of protein for you.

Baked Potatoes

Most of us hate potatoes and some of us do love them but frankly speaking, we never consider potatoes as protein sources. Yes, they too contain proteins. (Nearly 5 grams in a an average sized potato).

Brussels Sprouts

Apart from vitamins and minerals, these green vegetables also contains protein. Include them in your diet.

Spinach

Even spinach contains protein though most of us are not aware of it. You can get at least 5-6 grams of protein if you consume a cup of spinach a day.

Lentils

Lentils are the best source of proteins and Indian vegetarians love dishes like sambar and pongal where lentils are added in good quantities. In fact, if your diet includes such dishes, you are already getting some proteins through your diet.

Almonds

Soak some almond in water every night and enjoy them as a breakfast snack. This is a good way to get some proteins through plant sources.

Broccoli

Apart from providing your system with some fibre, broccoli can also supply some amount of protein to your muscles if you consume it regularly.
