Chia Seeds

This too can be added to your bowl of oats or simply sprinkled over some bananas in the morning. Power packed with proteins with 2 tablespoons giving you 4 grams of it along with omega-3, chia seeds is power food.

Quinoa

One of the most nourishing and protein-packed food is quinoa with just a quarter of a bowl containing 6 grams of the nutrient, its one awesome health food.

Buckwheat
