Beef, Lamb, Pork
Fish
Chicken and Turkey
Eggs
Milk & milk products (yogurt, cheese, cottage cheese, etc.)
Beans (especially soybeans)
Peanut butter

That's all I can think of at the moment.

The very best and purest are green foods. Wheat grass (you can get it in powder form to mix with water), hemp powder is one of the best, also green veggies. My husband is vegan, eats no meat, dairy, processed foods, eggs, etc. and has had his protein tested several times...results are higher protein levels than when he was a meat eater. I am also vegan, but haven't had my levels tested...my energy level is amazing though, and it wasn't always this way.

these are good sources of protein when you're vegan, but if you'e not i think it's easier to get it from meat and dairy rather than powders! i'm vegetarian, not too concerned about how much protein i consume, but i think i get enough from milk, cheese, beans and things like that.

Tofu has a good level of protein, comparable to meat.
