RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip: 

Once a week you should have an animal protein free day to destress your body. Here's FIVE amazing protein sources you can have that day:

1) QUINOA. Highest protein grain, that's also full of fiber, iron, magnesium, & manganese. 

2) CHIA. Number one plant source of healthy Omega-3 fatty acid. They contain more fiber than seeds/nuts & are loaded with iron, calcium, zinc, and antioxidants. 

3) BUCKWHEAT. Not actually wheat at all, it's a relative of rhubarb that helps improve circulation, lower cholesterol, & control blood glucose levels.

4) SPIRULINA. This member of the algae family when combined with nuts or seeds becomes a complete protein. 

5) UNSALTED/RAW NUTS & SEEDS. Loaded with protein, healthy unsaturated fat, and fiber.
