Protein Rich Foods
I think that one of the reasons that parents don't think that their kids get enough protein in their diets is that they simply aren't aware that protein is in so many different foods! Many foods besides red meat are high in protein, which means that your kids are likely getting much more protein in their diet than you think.
Common protein rich foods can include:
- Milk
- Soy Milk
- Eggs
- Cheese
- Yogurt
- Peanut Butter
- Lean Meats, Fish, and Poultry
- Beans, Tofu, Lentils, and other Legumes
- Grains, including bread and pasta
- Nuts and Seeds
