Top 9 Vegetarian Protein Sources

I get questions all the time from Vegetarian clients about how to get enough protein in their diet.

For those willing to use dairy I tell them to use cold filtered unsweetened whey protein.  Don’t buy a product full of artificial sweeteners and fillers (like maltodextrin).  Why be vegetarian and put all that other crap in your body?

Here are 9 More Great Vegetarian Protein Sources:

Food Type: Protein / Carbohydrates / Fats

* Tofu 4 oz.: 8 gr / 4 gr / 4 gr

* Black Beans ½ cup: 7.5 gr / 20gr / 5 gr

* Peanut Butter 1 Tbl.: 4 gr / 3.5 gr / 8 gr

* Almond Butter 1 Tbl.: 2 gr / 3 gr / 9 gr

* Cashew Nuts ¼ cup: 5 gr / 9 gr / 12 gr

* Seitan 3 ounces: 20 gr / 8 gr / 2 gr

* Tempeh 4 ounces: 16 gr / 14 gr / 6 gr

* Sunflower seeds raw ¼ cup: 6 gr / 6 gr / 14 gr.

* Soybeans ½ cup: 16 gr / 14 gr / 8 gr

I hope this helps you make better food choices as a health conscious vegetarian.
