Did you know there's protein in veggies?

I've been asked what sources of protein can we consume if we're not eating meat. Well here's a list of veggies and grains that you can eat to replace meat protein:

- Peas
For every half of cup, you'll get around 3.5 grams of protein

- Spinach
For every half cup, you'll get around 3 grams of protein

- Baked Potato
A medium potato contains around 3 grams of protein

- Broccoli
You can get around 2 grams of protein per serving

- Corn
One half cup of kernels provides around 2 grams of protein

- Brussels Sprouts
Every half cup provides around 2 grams of protein

- Chick Peas
Every serving provides around 8 grams of protein

- Artichokes
A medium sized on provides around 4 grams of protein

You don't need meat to gain energy! Try any of this in place of your meat protein for one of your meals and see how you feel.
