6 Top Vegetarian Sources of Protein

Peas

Peas, green peas especially, are such a common food that it’s easy to forget that they are a great source of protein for vegetarians. Green peas, cooked, have about 8 grams of protein in one cup. For even higher protein you can have split peas which have 16 grams of protein after being cooked.  You can find some great pea-based protein powders that have 15 or more grams of protein per serving.
