Like, real milk. Not oat milk or almond milk or chia milk or unicorn milk. Cow’s milk. Most alternative “milks” contain only a smidge or two of protein. One cup of cow’s milk has almost eight grams.
Chickpeas
One cup of chickpeas has about 15 grams of protein. Beyond hummus, they’re amazing in chana masala, Moroccan stews, and even added to Tex-Mex chili.
Bison
Lean, but still mightily meaty, ground bison (or steaks, if you can find them) contain a sturdy amount of muscle-building protein. Per just 3 ounces of ground bison, you’ll eat almost 22 grams of protein for only 152 calories.
