17. Quinoa

“Quinoa is a great source of protein, fiber, and magnesium. It is a versatile plant-based protein that can be substituted for rice in many recipes and included in baked goods as well. It can be added to almost anything for an extra protein-packed snack,” says New York City-based dietitian Aislinn Crovak, RD, CDN.

Crovak also says that “it’s especially delicious in chocolate, adding some extra crunch in every bite.” As a bonus: Not only is quinoa higher in protein than most grains, but it is also a complete protein with all nine essential amino acids (histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine).
