Most fruits are not very high in protein, but a few contain more protein than typical fruits and can help a bit if you’re trying to increase protein intake. ๐๐ช
๐ Fruits Relatively High in Protein
- Guava
- ~4.2 g protein per cup
- Also very high in vitamin C and fiber.
- Avocado
- ~3 g protein per cup
- Rich in healthy fats and potassium.
- Jackfruit
- ~2.8 g protein per cup
- Often used as a meat substitute in vegan dishes.
- Kiwi
- ~2 g protein per cup
- Packed with vitamin C and antioxidants.
- Blackberries
- ~2 g protein per cup
- High in fiber and vitamin K.
- Apricot
- ~2 g protein per cup (fresh)
- Dried versions have slightly more per serving.
- Pomegranate
- ~3 g protein per cup of seeds

⚠️ Important
Even the highest-protein fruits have far less protein than foods like eggs, beans, or yogurt. Fruits are better for vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants, while protein usually comes from other sources.
✅ Tip: Pair fruit with protein foods, for example:
- Apple + Peanut Butter
- Banana + Greek Yogurt
- Berries + Cottage Cheese
If you want, I can also show you the top 10 fruits with the most protein ranked or high-protein vegetables (some actually beat fruits by a lot). ๐ฅฆ
