Top 5 Veggies With the Most Protein

If you think eating nuts, legumes and meat are the only ways to get your daily dose of protein, you’ve got it all wrong! In addition to their vitamins, many veggies are packed with the muscle-building nutrient, making them powerful twofers.

While it’s a fact that many vegans and vegetarians already know, it’s something some carnivores aren't unaware of: A number of veggies actually contain a fair share of protein. And not only are they more affordable sources of the nutrient compared to things like fish, chicken, and beef, they’re far healthier, too. In fact, a recent study published in the journal Diabetes Investigation found that patients who consumed higher amounts of vegetable protein were

significantly less susceptible to high blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess belly fat, and high cholesterol than those who skimp on produce.

5 - Hubbard Squash Protein per cup: 5.08

grams Take your next veggie

roasting to the next level with a beautiful Hubbard squash. (It tastes great topped with olive oil, salt, and pepper.) With five grams of protein per cup, it also makes a great, filling addition to your favorite veggie-filled soup recipe.

4 - Asparagus Protein per cup: 5.31

grams Who knew that so much

protein was stuffed in a 32 calorie cup of these skinny spears?! That’s pretty impressive! It’s jam-packed with inulin (a good carb that promotes the growth of healthy bacteria in your gut) and potassium, which can help keep bloating at bay.

3 Turnip Greens Protein per cup: 5.49

grams Not only are turnip greens

packed with more calcium than kale, they’re also a great source of folate, which helps with the production of serotonin (the neurotransmitter that keeps us happy). Toss the protein-packed greens into a salad or simply

sauté them with some EVOO, garlic and dried herbs for a quick and tasty side dish.

2 - Broccoli Protein per cup: 5.7

grams This cruciferous veggie

packs a whole lot of protein into its emerald-colored, mildly flavored florets, which makes it a perfect addition to any dish. As an added bonus, chomping on steamed broccoli just a few times a week is clinically proven to lower rates of prostate, breast, lung, and skin cancers.

1 - Russet Potato Protein per cup: 7.86

grams The winner in the most

protein category is the Russet potato. It provides almost 8 grams of protein and plenty of slow digesting carbs to help your muscles rebuild and recover after that intense workout. Bake a large Russet at 425 degrees F for about an hour; once it’s done, split it in the middle and fill it up with cheese, a dollop of Greek yogurt, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper for a snack or side dish.
