Pita Jungle’s healthy vegetarian cuisine is available for anyone who wants robust, flavorful meat-free dishes at affordable prices. Consuming a meatless meal does not mean that you are excluding protein from your diet entirely. In fact, vegetarian-centered foods can have just as much protein as a piece of chicken or steak. Below are just some of the vegetarian foods high in protein that are available at Pita Jungle, a vegetarian restaurant in Arizona.
 

Benefits of Protein

People are often skeptical about the amount of protein offered by vegetarian dishes. Protein is far from the only important nutrient that our body needs, but it is vital for building muscles, increasing immunity, and transporting nutrients throughout the body. The good news is that plenty of vegetarian meals provide high amounts of protein, often the same amount as meat dishes.
 

Protein-Packed Salads

Pita Jungle’s salad menu is full of dishes like the Spinach Pasta Salad with a whopping 19 grams of protein per serving and the Greek Salad, which contains an impressive 16 grams. These salads are free of meat but still rich in protein and other important nutrients – and best of all, they taste great. You can mix it up with side orders of Steamed Broccoli (9 grams), Caramelized Cauliflower with Tahini (15 grams), or Mixed Beans (27 grams) to enjoy a high-protein meal while still sticking to a vegetarian diet.
 

Wraps, Pitas, Burgers, and Pizzas

Choosing vegetarian foods high in protein will cut back on a lot of unhealthy cholesterol, fat, and calories that meats carry with them in addition to protein. Try vegetarian dishes like Pita Jungle’s Veggie Garden Wrap, One Thousand Beans Pita (24 grams) and Chipotle Black Bean Burger (22 grams).

Wood fired pizzas like our Pesto Pizza (25 grams) or Roasted Garlic and Portobello Pizza (19 grams) keep out the meat in favor of fresh vegetarian ingredients like tomatoes, spinach and basil, tangy feta cheese, and delicious roasted garlic.

These high-protein vegetarian foods will leave you feeling full and satisfied, while providing you with an optimal protein intake without all the cholesterol, fat and calories in many meat dishes.
