Protein is the most plentiful bodily component after water. The body uses various proteins to form muscles, ligaments, tendons, hair, nails and skin. Proteins are needed to create enzymes which direct chemical reactions, and hormones, which direct bodily processes.
Fruits and vegetables contain lower qualities of protein than such high protein foods as meat and dairy products, and are therefore thought of as poor proteins sources.
However, juices are concentrated of easily absorbed amino acids, the building blocks that make up protein. For example, sixteen ounces of carrot juice ( two to three pounds of carrots) provides about five grams of protein (the equivalent of one hot dog or two ounces of tofu).
Vegetable protein does not provide all the amino acids your body needs. You will need to add other protein sources, such as legumes (beans, lentils and split peas) and whole grains and/or low fat animal proteins, to your daily diet.
But juice is an excellent protein supplement, especially for vegetarians.
