Protein is incredibly important for a balanced diet. It’s needed for many integral processes in the body, helps with muscle production, and also helps you to feel fuller for longer. As a vegetarian, you may worry about sources of protein without meat and fish, but there are plenty of foods that provide more than enough protein.
Eggs
This simple and versatile food product is one of the best sources of protein around. Whether you enjoy simple boiled eggs or like to use them in more complex recipes, they are an easy way to add protein to plenty of meals.
Greek Yogurt
This is a great way to add healthy protein and calcium to your breakfast or can be used to make tasty dips and sauces for lunches and dinners. Either way, you’ll be getting some great protein added to your meal.
Beans
This protein source is also great for vegans and is a great source of plenty of other vitamins and minerals. There are so many bean types to choose from and an endless range of dishes to make with them. Lentils and chickpeas are also great.
Cottage Cheese
This simple soft cheese is super high in protein and calcium so is great when added to various meals to add subtle flavor and creaminess.
