- Milk– with 8 grams of protein per cup, milk is a great choice for kids (who are tolerant of course). If you have a dairy allergy, you can use soy milk, which ALSO has 8 grams of protein! Soy milk is a great dairy alternative.
- Silken Soft Tofu– Adding 4 grams of protein, the silken soft is a great choice for smoothies! It even says it’s for sauces and smoothies right on the package!
- Chia Seeds- With 2 grams of protein for just 1 tablespoon, chia seeds are a perfect addition. It not only adds the protein, but also some fiber, and omega 3 fats, enhancing absorption of fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin D.
- Peanut butter– Not only is this a delicious addition, 2 tablespoons also have 8 grams of protein! As much as the milk! We know that nuts and seeds are a good source of protein, but I think we don’t realize how much. 8 grams for 2 tablespoons makes peanut butter a great source.
