5 Alternative Sources of Protein You Should Try

1. Quinoa

Quinoa can help prevent several diseases. It is high in antioxidants, compared with other grains and cereals and as a plus it can be prepared in as a little as 15 minutes. Also, almost 25 percent of quinoa’s fatty acids come in the form of oleic acid which is a heart-friendly monounsaturated fat.

 

2. Soy

Soy is a complete protein, so it contains all nine essential amino acids. It is an important protein source for many people, especially vegans and vegetarians. They are good sources of calcium, fiber, iron, phosphorus, magnesium and potassium. Also, they are low in saturated fat and high in vitamin C, folate and protein.
