Best Vegetarian Protein Sources<\/h2>\n

The body needs proteins, before and after workouts. Protein <\/strong>is the building blocks of our body. You need them for the daily wear and tear of muscles, to speed up recovery and to gain strength.<\/p>\n

While we all know meat and eggs pack a high protein punch, there\u2019s this misconception that a vegetarian meal plan comes up short. While vegetarians often feel that they have fewer choices, there are enough options available for them to meet their daily protein. Here are some options for vegetarian protein sources to incorporate in your daily diet.<\/p>\n

1. Chickpeas<\/h3>\n

\"Best<\/p>\n

They\u2019re high in protein and fiber, and low in calories. Snack on them boiled, toss them<\/p>\n

into salads or puree into a yummy hummus.<\/p>\n

Protein punch <\/strong>7.3 gm per 1\/2 cup serving<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

2. kidney beans<\/h3>\n

\"Best<\/p>\n

Kidney beans are a chock-a-block with protein, carbohydrates, and fiber. Paired with boiled or steamed rice, Rajma-Chawal<\/em> is an all-time favourite dish in the Indian household. Apart from being delicious, it\u2019s a wholesome meal, which can be enjoyed in the form of curry, as a topping in salads, in enchiladas or in the form of spicy chili.<\/p>\n

Protein punch<\/strong> 7.5 gm per 1\/2 cup serving<\/p>\n

3. Milk<\/h3>\n

\"Best<\/p>\n

Got milk? If you do, you\u2019re sure to do well on your protein test. Apart from being a rich source of protein, milk is rich in calcium and ensures good bone health, strong teeth, a healthy immune system, and glowing skin. Avoid full-fat versions; look for skimmed options that have been fortified with vitamin D<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Protein Punch <\/strong>8 gm per 1 cup serving<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

4. Lentils<\/h3>\n

\"Best<\/p>\n

Indians can\u2019t do without their dals<\/em>, be it arhar<\/em>, urad<\/em> or moong<\/em>. A part of almost every meal, lentils are an easy and inexpensive way of amping up your intake of protein, fiber, and essential minerals. Serve with a side of rice or roti for a complete meal.<\/p>\n

Protein Punch <\/strong>9 gm per 1\/2 cup serving<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. Green Peas<\/h3>\n

\"Best<\/p>\n

Not many vegetables are as rich in protein as this winter staple. You get the protein and fiber from frozen green peas too, so go ahead and stash a bag in your freezer. Make sure you pick up the bag and check how the peas have been frozen \u2013 if you can feel them, they\u2019re good to go; if not, they have been thawed and refrozen into a big chunk. Try Matar Paneer<\/em> to boost your protein intake.<\/p>\n

Protein Punch <\/strong>7 gm per 1 cup serving<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

6. Mixed Seeds<\/h3>\n

\"Best<\/p>\n

Seeds add crunch and quite a bit of protein to your meals. Choose from sesame, sunflower, pumpkin or poppy seeds \u2013 as they\u2019re all high in protein and healthy fats. Apart from salads, you can also add them to raita, cereal or homemade granola.<\/p>\n

Protein Punch <\/strong>5-7.3 gm per quarter-cup serving<\/p>\n
