Question

What is one item vegetarians can eat to get their protein

Answer 1

Rice and beans because they both have proteins meat has but beans has some and rice has the other

Answer 2

The easiest (and possibly tastiest) answer is nuts.  All varieties of nuts: almonds, peanuts, cashews, pecans, hazelnuts – you name it.  And for those of you who like it smooth, peanut butter is an excellent source of protein with 4 grams per tablespoon.  Watch the salt though: the USDA recommends choosing unsalted nuts to keep the sodium intake low.
