12 High-Protein Vegetables To Help Your Body Repair Cells and Make New Ones

4. Potatoes

Protein Content: ~4 grams for 1 medium white potato

This stealthy source of protein also happens to be one of the most popular vegetables on the planet. Not to mention, potatoes are also an excellent source of potassium, meaning they nourish the heart and help balance sodium levels in the body.

5. Spinach

Protein Content: ~3 grams for 3 cups

Spinach is one of my favorite leafy green to include in smoothies, juices and salads. You could easily make a spinach salad with 6 cups of spinach, which would provide you with over 6 grams of protein! Add a few chickpeas and avocado in there, and you have a salad with a whopping 25 grams of protein!

Spinach also contains plenty of iron to help prevent iron-deficiency anemia, and is high in vitamin C to help boost the immune system and fight cancer.

6. Organic Corn

Protein Content: ~2.5 grams for 1/2 cup

This protein-packed plant has been around for centuries (that is, before Monsanto started creating GMO varieties). Corn contains a healthy amount of thiamine, vitamin B6, vitamin C, folate, potassium, magnesium and phosphorous.

When choosing corn, always make sure it is non-GMO organic.
