Healthy Clean Protein from Pesticide-free GMO-Free vegetables:

Here are 9 veggies that have a high protein content: 

1. Green peas. Green peas are at the top of the list of the most protein-filled vegetables. Technically, they’re legumes, but many of us consider them vegetables because of their bright green color and delicate flavor. You might be surprised by their protein content, though: a cup of steamed green peas contains about 8 grams of protein. Plus, they’re super easy to serve, since you can toss a handful of peas into almost anything for an extra pop of protein.

1. Spinach. A big crisp spinach salad is certainly refreshing, especially on a hot day in the South. But to get the most benefits from this leafy green, go ahead and cook it. A cup of cooked spinach yields 5.3 grams of protein. Other benefits include high levels of iron, folic acid, vitamin C, vitamin K and calcium.

1. Collard greens. A one-cup serving of these dark leafy greens (cooked) contains about 5.1 grams of protein, but if you’re like a lot of Tennesseans, you don’t stop with one cup. Cook them with some onion and garlic (and maybe a little vinegar and hot sauce). Skip the ham and bacon if you prefer.

1. Mustard greens. Your favorite meat-n-three might advertise these peppery leafy greens as an old Southern favorite. A cup of cooked mustard greens contains about 3.6 grams of protein, plus calcium, folic acid, vitamin K, and other nutrients.

1. Lima beans. Serve yourself 100 grams of lima beans and get 3.2 grams of protein. They’re high in fiber and easy to prepare. Toss them into some soup to raise the protein content. Lima beans and butter beans are in season in the late summer in Tennessee, but you can get them dried and frozen all year.

1. Asparagus. Asparagus is a favorite spring crop in Tennessee. But you can enjoy it all year, thanks to the freezer section at the store. A cup of cooked asparagus contains about 2.1 grams of protein, while a cup of the raw stuff contains just under 3 grams.

1. Broccoli. A cup of chopped raw broccoli will yield 2.6 grams of protein, while a cup of cooked broccoli contains about 1.9 grams. Broccoli deserves its reputation as a “superfood” because it’s high in fiber, folates, vitamin C, vitamin K and potassium.

1. Cauliflower.A cup of raw cauliflower provides a little more than 2 grams of protein. Cauliflower is also high in fiber and antioxidants. It’s a lot more versatile than you might realize, too; you can even make pizzawith it.

1. Brussels sprouts. Brussels sprouts have become more popular in recent years — and perhaps for good reason. A cup of cooked Brussels sprouts contains about 2 grams of protein, and lots of vitamin K, calcium, and vitamin C. For more ways to eat Brussels sprouts, click here.
