Every 100 kcal of mixed vegetables brings 4.4 g of protein. On that measure it ranks 58th of the 105 vegetables in this database and 499th of all 796 foods on the site. Measured by weight instead, its 2.86 g per 100 g ranks 24th in its group.
Around 18% of the calories in mixed vegetables come from protein, so it is more of an energy food than a protein food. It contributes to a day's protein total, but the bulk of what it delivers is energy rather than amino acids - treat it as a contributor alongside a denser source, not as the protein in a meal.
USDA lists 0.15 g of fat per 100 g of mixed vegetables, too little for a protein-to-fat ratio to mean much.
Set against hash browns, another vegetable entry in the database, a serving carries about 0.5 g more protein (hash browns has 4.7 g per 1 cup).
It is an incomplete protein on its own; pairing it with other plant foods across the day covers the full range of essential amino acids. The serving quoted here is measured by volume at 182 g, and it covers about 10% of the 50 g FDA Daily Value for protein.

How much protein do you get per 100 calories of mixed vegetables?
4.4 g. That figure divides its 2.86 g of protein per 100 g by its 65 kcal per 100 g, so it does not depend on serving size.
Is the protein in mixed vegetables complete?
No. On its own, the protein in mixed vegetables is short of at least one essential amino acid; other protein sources across the day fill the gap.
What share of the protein Daily Value is one serving of mixed vegetables?
About 10%. One 1 cup cooked serving has 5.2 g, and the FDA Daily Value for protein is 50 g.
