The protein is in the vegetables, the greens. You can, however, add more protein from other sources. You can add protein powder (and there are many varieties from which to choose) spirulina or soy (if it should be agreeable) or rice protein powder or mushroom powder or pea protein powder or nuts, seeds, and other legumes. Every food has a protein value, even foods most would not consider protein. Grains supply protein and tubers and roots, too. Should you desire a higher protein diet, it's quite easy to fortify and enrich. I personally have no desire or need to be on a high protein diet and only give myself the minium. I'm more of a carb type. Greens, especially spinach are good sources of glutamine. Note: I'm not giving anyone nutritional advice.
I also take an amino acid supplement and I do have a malabsorption problem, but since I started eating like this and gf my hair has grown back and that's a good thing--a miraculous thing.
