Lentils
Lentils are another rich source of plant-based protein. They can be added to different dishes, such as dahls, soups, or salads. These foods also have a good amount of slowly digested carbohydrates, with a single cup providing up to 50% of your daily recommended intake. Also, the fiber in lentils can feed good bacteria in the colon, thus promoting the overall health of your gut. Some other minerals found in these products include iron, manganese, and folate. [5]
