News India Live, Digital Desk: If you are a pure vegetarian or are fond of gym, then one question must always bother you, “Friend, I have to build my body, but where to get the protein from?” Often we hear around us that if you want protein, then eat eggs or non-veg. Many times our vegetarian brothers and sisters get disappointed in this matter. They think that they will not be able to attain the same fitness level by eating pulses and roti. But today we have come to clear this misconception of yours. Nature has given us some vegetables which are silently giving tough competition to eggs and chicken in terms of protein. All that is lacking is information. Let us know in simple language about those vegetables which come at the top in the list of ‘High Protein Vegetarian Food’. 1. Drumstick: Tall height and great protein. First of all let’s talk about Drumstick, which we often ignore. We consider it just to enhance the taste of Sambar. But do you know that drumstick pods and leaves are a storehouse of protein and calcium? It can be as effective as eggs, or even more so, in repairing your muscles and strengthening your bones. It is not just a vegetable, it is a superfood.2. Green Peas: Small grain, big bang Winter has arrived and fresh green peas are also in the market. These small sweet peas are not just for poha or potatoes and peas. Believe me, one cup of peas contains so much protein that it helps a lot in meeting your daily requirement. It is also rich in fiber, which helps in controlling weight.3. Mushroom: The ‘meat’ of vegetarians. The texture of mushroom is like meat, but its nutrition is also no less. Mushrooms are an excellent ‘plant-based protein’ source. This is a boon for those who do not eat eggs. It is low in calories, so if you are losing fat and want to increase muscles, then drink mushroom vegetable or soup two-three times a week.4. Broccoli and Spinach (Green Veggies) The elders in our house always advised to eat green leafy vegetables. Spinach and broccoli have very good amount of protein. Spinach is also rich in iron, which prevents anemia and keeps you full of energy throughout the day. Our opinion friends, eggs are not the only way to stay healthy or build muscles. If you include these vegetables in your diet in the right way, by changing them, then even a vegetarian diet can make you strong. So next time you go to the vegetable market, buy vegetables considering the ‘protein’ and not just the taste!
