Top Healthy Vegetarian Protein Sources

5. Cottage Cheese

Cottage cheese, 14 g of protein per 1/2 cup

Cottage cheese is having a comeback (and it’s good for you!). Cottage cheese is a little higher in sodium than Greek yogurt, so keep that in mind if you’re watching your salt intake. It works well as a savory dip or try it sweetened up with fruit.

6. Hemp Seeds

Hemp seeds, 4 g of protein per 1 tablespoon

In addition to being a good source of protein, hemp seeds are rich in omega-3 fatty acids. They are delicious sprinkled on smoothies and smoothie bowls or oatmeal.
