Protein is not only found in meat/ Here are some of the fruits that contain it

Although the word "protein" is usually associated with animal sources there are also plant sources of protein, which can be combined with animal sources or with each other to increase the intake of plant fiber and protein. Plant-based protein is becoming increasingly popular as more people turn to vegetarian diets.

Protein is essential for the body, as it helps in the growth and repair of damaged cells, as well as in the development of the body's muscles. While needs vary, depending on lifestyle and amount of exercise. An average woman needs 46 grams of protein per day, while a man needs 56 grams of protein per day.

Here are some fruits with protein:

avocado

In addition to healthy fats and fiber, avocados also contain 2.7 grams of protein.

guava

Another tropical fruit that deserves a spot on this list, with 1 cup of guava containing 4.2 grams of protein. You can consume it in a smoothie or even in a fruit salad.

raspberries

In addition to a strong antioxidant effect, raspberries also have some protein content. A cup of raspberries contains 2 grams of protein, which are also high in fiber, so you can include them in your breakfast.

kiwi

Did you know that a kiwi contains more vitamin C than an orange? In addition to this immune benefit, one cup of kiwi also contains 1.9 grams of protein. Also, it is rich in calcium, potassium, fiber and carbohydrates.

Apricot

Although not in season, apricots are a high-protein fruit, with one cup providing 2.2 grams. Apricots also contribute to the hydration of the body, while they are rich in antioxidants, potassium and beta-carotene.
