Top Healthy Vegetarian Protein Sources




1. Greek Yogurt

Greek yogurt, 23 g of protein per cup

Greek yogurt is delicious added to smoothies, layered with fruit and granola as a parfait and used as a sour cream substitute on tacos or in dips. It also delivers calcium and gut-healthy probiotics. Choose plain yogurt over flavored varieties to save added sugar.




2. Lentils

Lentils, 9 g of protein per 1/2 cup (cooked)

Lentils are a protein powerhouse stuffed into a tiny package. Not only do they deliver vegan protein, but a half-cup of cooked lentils also gives you 8 grams of fiber. Fiber is good for your heart, helps keep you full and can keep your weight in check.
