15 Foods High in Protein

Dairy Milk

Dairy milk provides a little of almost all the nutrients that the body needs. Especially, it is rich in high-quality protein, as well as vitamins and essential minerals, such as riboflavin, phosphorus, and calcium. One cup of dairy milk contains more than 8 grams of protein. The problem is that many individuals cannot tolerate milk due to lactose intolerance. Luckily, they may go for many lactose-free alternatives, such as lactose-free yogurts, cheeses, or milk. Nondairy milk can be a great option as well, such as coconut milk, cashew milk, or almond milk. However, they tend to contain less protein than dairy milk. [2]
