Vegetables are the foundation of healthy eating and are packed with nutrients your body needs to function at its best. A few high-protein vegetables to add to your daily diet:
- Spinach is the 2nd highest protein vegetable. Always have a bag of frozen spinach in your freezer.
- Green Peas are super versatile and packed with protein and are a good source of fiber. Add peas to pasta, soup, rice, and the list goes on.
- Avocado is a good source of protein, potassium, and fiber. There are many ways to enjoy this….in salads, dips, etc.
- Asparagus is a high-protein, low-carb vegetable with a lot of nutrients.
- Mushrooms are packed with vitamins and can be added to a lot of dishes.
- Kale is full of antioxidants and is good as a salad and also as a snack instead of potato chips.
- Potatoes – people think that potatoes are bad for you but they are a good source of potassium.
- Peppers – green, red, and yellow, all part of the Capsicum family which include chile peppers and sweet pepper. They are low in calories and loaded with nutrition and full of antioxidants.
