Answers:
The darker the vegetable, the better!. Beet greens, sea vegetables, swiss chard, and turnips are all good sources of iron, along with cashews, pumpkin seeds, tahini, sunflower seeds, black beans, garbanzo beans kidney beans, lentils, lima beans, soy beans, navy beans and bran flakes!. You can get an excellent amount of protein from legumes and beans, but dark green leafy vegetables like broccoli, kale, spinach, etc, are good sources too!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Vegetables like Broccoli and Bok Choi are rich in iron!. These vegetables are high iron and also high in vitamin C, which increases absorption of their iron content!. If you aren't against milk then that's what i suggest to drink!. There aren't a lot of fruits or vegetable that have a high amount of protein!. You can get protein powder and mix it with a drink of your choice (i would drink with milk, or if i had to water), and there are nuts and peanut butter that are fairly high in protein!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The red foods especially Beets, swiss chards, and also most dark green veggies!.!. brussel sprouts, broccoli, spinach too but spinach has oxalic acid which slows down absorption of iron but that can be remedied with the fruit tomatos as they have a different type of acid and have iron too! Beans, grains, dark and brown wheats also have plenty of iron!. So does Kelp which is seaweed! Www@FoodAQ@Com
