11 Easy Sources of Protein You Could Be Missing Out On

Yogurt

Often seen as a mere dairy dessert, Yogurt is seriously high in protein. Especially if we’re talking about Greek yogurt, it’s an alternate form of milk in essence, so it’s naturally high in protein. Not only that, but the cultured bacteria in this treat also does a great deal of good to your digestive system!

The best part is there’s no cooking time involved. They’re usually affordable and come in small cups, typically with around 5g of protein. You can eat it plain, in a smoothie, creamed into a tasty dip for vegetables, or added to baked items.

Look for brands with the “live and active cultures” label, meaning that it contains beneficial probiotics that can also improve your gut health and even help you lose weight. As an added benefit, choosing a plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt is a great way to keep your added sugar intake to a minimum.

Sidenote: buying larger sizes is a great way to save money because 24oz of plain Greek yogurt costs around $5.
