We've all heard that vegetarian's don't get enough protein in their diet, and as a result, will have a hard time building muscle. You may be a vegetarian, or know of someone who is, and I want to give you some vegetarian foods that will allow you (or your friend) to be able to still pack on muscle just like your non-vegetarian counterpart.
Not only will these foods help you build muscle but they are a great staple to most diets (regardless if you are vegetarian).
Here are 10 foods to help build muscle and stay lean.
1. Quinoa -24g of protein per cup
2. Hemp/Rice Protein Powder - an alternative to whey protein powder
3. Steel-Cut Oats - loaded with fiber and protein
4. Chia Seeds - full of Omega-3's, which help reduce inflammation and speed muscle recovery
5. Almonds - the prefect snack food
6. Collard Greens - packed full of vitamins A, B, C, E, K and Folate
7. Black Beans - one of the most nutrient-packed beans
8. Lentils - loaded with protein and fiber
9. Avocados - full of heart-healthy fats to increase testosterone
10. Cauliflower - contains about 30% protein and is loaded with vitamins
