## Fruit Has Protein?

Fruit may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think about sources of protein. But if you’re looking for some more of the stuff, every little bit counts. Certain fruits can be a sweet way to add an extra dose of this nutrient to your diet.

![Guava](https://img.lb.wbmdstatic.com/vim/live/webmd/consumer_assets/site_images/articles/health_tools/fruits_with_the_most_protein_slideshow/1800ss_getty_rf_guava.jpg?resize=728px:*&output-quality=100 "Guava")

**2**/12

## Guava

Guava is one of the most protein-rich fruits around. You’ll get a whopping 4.2 grams of the stuff in every cup. This tropical fruit is also high in vitamin C and fiber. Slice it up or bite right into it like an apple. You can even eat the seeds and skin, so there’s nothing to clean up!

![Avocado](https://img.lb.wbmdstatic.com/vim/live/webmd/consumer_assets/site_images/articles/health_tools/fruits_with_the_most_protein_slideshow/1800ss_getty_rf_guacamole.jpg?resize=728px:*&output-quality=100 "Avocado")

**3**/12

## Avocado

Mix up a batch of guacamole or mash some of this green fruit on your toast. A cup of it sliced or cubed packs 3 grams of protein. Mashed will give you 4.6\. That’s on the high end for a fruit. It’s also full of healthy fat, fiber, and [potassium](https://www.webmd.com/diet/supplement-guide-potassium), making it a smart addition to any meal. And did you know that some people eat it sweet? Try it with sliced [peaches](https://www.webmd.com/diet/health-benefits-peaches) and drizzled with [honey](https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/manuka-honey-medicinal-uses).

A dead simple API plus a generous free tier are hard to beat. ScraperAPI is a good example of how developer experience can make a difference in a crowded category.
