I've been using nuts to boost my protein levels. They aren't quite as high as Greek yogurt and they do have some fat, but it's the good fats you need in your diet. They also provide certain nutrients that are found in other foods, but in much lower percentages. My faves are almonds, cashews and Brazil nuts. It's very hard to stop at a 1 oz serving, so generally I use them in other dishes like salad and stir fry.
