While meat, fish, and eggs are certainly a wellspring of protein, and legumes provide loads of plant-based protein<\/a>, other protein-packed foods abound\u2014including fruit. “While the category of fruit is not the highest protein source in the plant world, they can contribute important grams of protein to your diet,” says Sharon Palmer, MSFS, RDN, and author of several vegan cookbooks, including Plant-Powered Plan to Beat Diabetes.\n<\/p>\n

Many have about 1 gram of protein, but some boast substantially more. \u201cA key rule of thumb is that fruits with edible seeds, such as passion fruit and berries, can contain more protein,” she says. Ahead, nutrition experts discuss the best fruits to eat for protein, offering suggestions for adding these sweet sensations to drinks and dishes.\n<\/p>\n

“Botanically, avocado<\/a> is a fruit,” points out Palmer. “It’s unique because it is packed with healthy fats (unusual in the plant world), and it also has a significant amount of protein\u20144 grams<\/a> in an average whole avocado,” she says.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

Those healthy fats, says Jamie Mok, MS, RDN, and spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, include about 13 grams of heart-healthy monounsaturated fat. This superfood has a “whopping 9 grams of fiber,” she says, plus it’s a good source of several B vitamins, including folate, vitamins C, E, and K. “Avocados offer essential minerals like copper, magnesium, manganese, and potassium, along with the antioxidants<\/a> lutein and zeaxanthin, which are important for eye health,” Mok adds.\n<\/p>\n
