Which vegetarian foods have the most protein?!


Question: Which vegetarian foods have the most protein?
Besides Tofu

Answers:

Lentils: High in iron and dietary fiber too, lentils are easy to prepare. They're great for curries, soup (obviously), or braised with wine. And, a cup of cooked lentils will give you 35% of your daily protein.

Chick Peas: Chickpeas, or garbanzo beans, are delicious—mash 'em up and fry them for falafel, throw them into a salad, or eat them straight out of the tin. Eating a cup of chickpeas gets you 30% of your daily protein needs.

Nuts: Eat plenty of nuts. Just about any kind will do—avoid salted nuts, at least at first, because you might find yourself eating more than you did in your non-vegan days. Walnuts, almonds, and cashews are some personal favorites.

Peanut Butter: Logic may dictate that this should be included in the 'Nuts' category, but I say there's a difference. Peanut butter comes in handy in completely different ways—on toast in the morning, in a sandwich for lunch, even as part of a chunky topping to a dessert. Now, peanut butter is the least purely healthy food on the list, so use it sparingly, and buy organic to avoid the processed stuff.



Greek yogurt (Chobani - has 28-32% per each yogurt cup)
Almonds - 6g per 3 tablespoons/1 serving, and other nuts
Kashi Oatmeal (usually 5 or more g of protein)

and that's just to name a few

i won't eat too much peanut butter to get your protein, it has way too much fat and bad fat, just eat regular nuts



Typically seeds have the highest concentration of protein (beans, lentils, nuts, etc.) in the plant kingdom. If you eat dairy and eggs, those are also high in protein.

Barley has a lot. I cook it and eat it like oatmeal, only it needs to be cooked a bit longer, like 15 minutes and needs a bit more water. You have to stir it very often so it doesn't stick to the bottom and burn. I add berries and some agave nectar and soymilk. I think it tastes great. Also, any type of beans.



Tofu isn't really a good source of protein. It's a chemically processed food. Nuts, legumes, etc are good sources.
