Greek yogurt has gained huge popularity in recent years among the health-conscious, and with good reason. Its thick, creamy texture makes every bite feel decadent, and yet it is low in fat. Add a handful of nuts and fruits for the healthiest dessert snack ever. It’s rich in vitamins, selenium, zinc and, of course, calcium.
One 7-ounce (200-g) container provides 19.9 grams of protein.
5. Protein powders
Protein powder is a convenient option when you need a quick protein boost. Whey is the most popular type, but if you’re a vegan, you can choose pea-based protein powder. Blend them with milk or alternate milks such as soy, almond, or cashew to make shakes and smoothies. It also goes well when mixed with the aforementioned Greek yogurt!
Whey protein powder provides about 16.6 grams of protein per scoop (28.6 g), while pea protein provides 15 grams of protein per scoop (20 g).
