I've just got to make sure I've bought as many " Greens " as I have Meat and Seafood !!!
Did you know that, there are Six Veggies that contain a fair amount of Protein which we get from meat . Vegetables are typically not known for being a source of Protein , but there are some with a sneaky amount of it ! Plant proteins are sometimes " incomplete " which basically means they don't contain a fair amount of amino acids !! To make sure you are getting the right amount of amino acids be sure to combine these veggies with whole grains !
Peas
Each half-cup contains three and a half grams of protein. Try them in a creamy fresh pea soup with mint .
Spinach
You'll find three grams of protein in a half cup of spinach. Get your fill with one yummy spinach smoothie.

Brussels Sprouts
These little green guys get a bad rap, but they're actually nutritional superstars: Each half cup packs two grams of protein, along with 247 milligrams of potassium and 110 micrograms of vitamin K. Luckily for haters , there are delicious Brussel Sprout recipes available .

Corn
OK, we know that corn is technically a grain. But you can find it in the produce aisle—and you'll be glad to know that half a cup of kernels provides two grams of filling protein. Try this grilled corn with lemon-parsley butter with dinner tonight.
Hope you find yourself eating more greens ,especially ones which have protein ! Have a good week and Merry Christmas xx
