Just one serving of Greek yogurt adds about 18 grams of protein to your day. There are also milks that have been specially filtered to be more protein rich. (Oh, and have you heard of quark yet?)

Beans are so versatile and can be added to almost any recipe. Chickpeas come in at 14 grams of protein per cup or add a cup of lentils to any soup for an added 28 grams of protein. Kidney beans, black beans, even peas can be put in pasta or salads for a high fiber, high protein, and tasty addition.

Try adding healthy cheeses to your salads, for a flavor upgrade and protein boost. Who doesn't love fresh mozzarella in a Caprese salad or some feta mixed into a Greek salad? How about crackers and swiss for a healthy snack in the car, or crusty bread with some cheddar for your picnic. Even if you're lactose intolerant, you may be able to eat goat cheese and real buffalo mozzarella.
