So I was searching on one of my favorite websites, whfoods.com , for fruits, veggies, nuts, etc., that have a lot of protein.  It's odd because it says that most popular nuts, except for peanuts and pumpkin seeds, have no proten  ???
But, it does say that these veggies have a good amount: spinach (the veg with the most), mushrooms, broccoli, asparagus, and a few more that were pretty insignificant. 
The only tasty way I can think of to prepare any of these is in an omlette.  So if you want it fast, I'd recommend sauteeing them the night before so you can easily throw them into the omlette as it cooks.  Also, you should throw a dollop of yogurt into the omlette mixture instead of milk.  Way more protein in yogurt and more better tasty!  Also, use tamari instead of salt.

If you have a prostate gland a handful of roasted pumpkin seeds is an easy, healthy option.

That's true, but I prefer to eat them.
Oh, good heavens. I didn’t realize. I send my condolences out to the rest of the O’Connor family.

Whoops.  Sorry, for spreading misinformation.

But they're the only thing "my device" runs on!  They've discontinued the liniment oil model.

I agree.

Pumpkin seeds DO have protein.  It's all the other nuts on that website that don't have any like cashews, almonds, and walnuts that surprisingly have none.

This must be yet another joke I'm not getting.

It's just that as far as I know cashews, almonds, and walnuts contain protein--something widely corroborated--so I wondered if the assertion that they didn't was meant to be humorous.  If it wasn't, then it's just plain wrong, and dania's favorite Website is leading her astray.

I just bought that it is delicious and 8grams protein.

7/8/9/10/12 (if you get crazy) grain bread toasted with globs of peanut butter, raisins, sliced bananas.

English Muffin with melted cheese, scrambled egg, salsa. 

Greek yogurt/cottage cheese with sliced almonds and grapes.

I wouldn't trust that Website anymore, dania.  If it can make that claim about nuts, who knows what other lies it's spreading in a cunning attempt to malnourish you.

haha, yeah I am a sucker for stuff that seems informative.  I did discover, via my own personal reseach (otherwise known as I-ate-some-stuff-and-read-the-label-ology) that this would be a really good, moderately protein-rich, and fast breakfast:
1 cup of silk soymilk, and 2 slices of Sun-Maid raisin bread equals 13 grams of protein.
