Most of the time we think of protein as meats, beans, and soy. We don't often think of seeds as protein but several seeds that keep the body alkalized are classified as proteins. Pumpkin seeds, squash seeds, sunflower seeds, and flax seeds are a great source of protein and make great snacks. Flax seed has been determined to be a cancer fighting agent. Be sure to grind them up for full nutritional value so your body does not pass them through undigested. A coffee grinder is great for this. I have two coffee grinders. One for coffee and one for flax seed.

Here are two things that I like to do with flax seeds to add to my daily regimen of cancer fighting foods. I sprinkle 1/4 cup of ground flax seed on my cereal or oatmeal giving it a natural nutty taste. I also like to add 2 tablespoons of ground flax seed to my ground coffee just before brewing. It gives the coffee a great nutty taste and the boiling water in the process will bring out the natural flax seed oil in my coffee making it an even healthier drink in the morning.
