This little legume not only packs a protein punch, but is also an all-around nutritional heavy-hitter.
Amino acid profile should be considered when choosing plant proteins, so I love recommending pistachios, as they offer 6 grams of complete plant protein per serving.
Though technically a seed, quinoa is typically grouped with grains and is one of the best sources of protein in that category (apologies, white rice!).
Whether roasted for a munchable snack or blended into a creamy hummus spread, chickpeas (aka garbanzo beans) are another legume that gets top scores from the experts.
Never thrown a bag of hemp seeds into your grocery cart? Now might be the time to start, says Jones, as they're a great source of protein.
Typically used as a meat substitute in its firm state or as an egg or dairy substitute in its silken form, tofu is made by coagulating soy milk and pressing the resulting curds into a block.
If you want all the benefits of soy but in a package that's a little easier to, say, throw into a gym bag for a post-workout snack, Jones recommends pre-cooked soy beans.
