The problem is not about having enough veg sources of proteins, it is not knowing about them that proves to be an issue. Here are some options you can try.

1. Peanut Butter 

Peanut butter is the ideal spread we need to add taste as well as health to our toast. You can have 2 tbsp (8 g) of peanut butter in a day. 

2. Chickpeas 

We love Chole-chawal. Imagine eating to your heart's content and getting all the protein you need! You can try adding them to salads and mixed vegetable dishes.

3. Milk 

Not just calcium, milk is an excellent source of protein too. If you don't like to have plain milk, try making smoothies or cereal bowls or oatmeal with it.

Proteins, healthy fats, vitamins, minerals - these small seeds are big on nutrition. Have a handful (2 tbsp) of seeds every day.

5. Walnuts 

Protein is one of the many nutrients that walnut offers. You can have ground walnuts as is, as a part of trail mix, or add them to your drinks, shakes and salads.

Egg is a great option for people following lacto-ovo-vegetarian diet, which is basically a plant-based diet but includes dairy and eggs.
