Looking for snacks and meals (not based on meat) loaded with protein? Read this slideshare to find out what foods are packed with protein!

1. 8 Sources of Protein You
Probably Don’t Know
About
Meat is not the only source of protein out there!

2. 1. Chia seeds
With 4 grams of protein per two tablespoons,
chia seeds can easily add lots of protein to any
meal. You can sprinkle them on salad, yogurt,
cereal, or anything else that you want to add
flavor and protein to.

3. 2. Cottage cheese
If you’re trying to find a way to add protein to
some of your favorite snacks, look to cottage
cheese. With 26 grams of protein per cup, it’s a
fantastic companion to fruit like cantaloupe and
to crackers like Wheat Thins.

4. 3. Lentils
Not only are lentils inexpensive and easier to
prepare than other beans, they are also loaded
with 18 grams of protein per one cup (when they
are cooked). Put them in an apple and celery
salad or in your favorite soup.

5. 4. Quinoa
Quinoa is a type of grain
that is prepared like other
whole grains such as rice
or barley.
Cooked quinoa has 8
grams of protein per cup
and, with a little olive oil,
sea salt, and lemon juice, it
tastes great as a side dish.

6. 5. Green peas
Yes, green peas do actually contain protein. In
fact, they offer 8 grams per cup, and they taste
just as good frozen as they do fresh. Don’t
underestimate the tastiness and health benefits
of peas when making dinner.

7. 6. Tempeh
Tempeh is a traditional soy product originally
from Indonesia that is made from cooked and
slightly fermented soybeans. It’s similar to a very
firm veggie burger and it provides 15 grams of
protein per serving.

8. 7. Greek yogurt
Greek yogurt is a thicker,
creamier, more
concentrated yogurt
because it’s stripped of
its liquid whey.
It has 15 to 20 grams of
protein per 6-ounce
container and, combined
with other tasty
ingredients, it works well
as a fruit or veggie dip.

9. 8. Powdered peanut butter
While creamy and crunchy
peanut butter have lots of
protein, so does powdered
peanut butter.
With 5 to 7 grams of protein
per serving, this powdery form
of peanut butter is a great
addition to smoothies, baked
goods, and sauces.
It also has 75 to 85 percent
less fat than regular peanut
butter, which makes it that
much healthier.
