1. Protein waffles
I know waffles don't make you think of protein but these delicious treats are packed full of protein!
My favorite of all varieties of protein pancake/ waffle mixes are the Kodiak Cakes

Four 4" waffles have 14 grams of protein. Add egg and replace the water with milk and now you have 21 grams of protein. Waffles are back in the breakfast rotation!
2. Black beans and rice
Not just for broke students, black beans and rice is a perfect protein packed side for any meal of the day. One cup of black beans and rice is 7 grams of protein. One of my favorite ways to prepare is a "Dirty rice" style. Add red and green peppers, onion, garlic, and Cajun seasonings

3. Farro
This ancient grain has been gaining more popularity in recent years and its no wonder why. This tiny grain packs a protein punch. 1/4th cup of dry Farro has 7 grams of protein. This is great to add in soups, salads, you can use in the place of rice or quinoa.
