There are few foods that on their own provide the perfect mix of protein and carbohydrates. The very short list includes:
- A boiled egg
- Yogurt – Greek is ideal for added protein
- Nuts – almonds, walnuts, peanuts, pecans and pistachios are great examples
- Roasted chickpea, soybeans or other legumes
- Edamame – steamed soybean pods
