There is enough protein. That’s not a problem.

Of course, you have to choose the right plants because celery is mostly water, but spinach has a fair amount of protein.

Spinach isn’t as good as it might seem. Bioavailability of the protein is a little over 50% and as little as 2% of iron from spinach is actually absorbed. Doesn’t do you much good to eat what cannot be absorbed.
