How do I get extra protein in my diet?

I've been dealing with anemia and lack of energy lately and have been researching how to get more iron and protein in my diet. I've been incorporating more food items that are high in iron such as spinach and chard. However, protein is challenging as I don't eat a lot of meat.

So I googled protein and superfoods. I googled superfoods because I really want to make sure I include protein that's natural and if possible organic. My results came up several time with California grown blue-green algae & California spirulina. Blue-green algae are superfoods that are considered the cutting-edge of today’s nutrition. California spirulina is the highest concentration of protein of any food(60% protein by weight!).

But what's with the emphasis on California. Well it began to make sense to me as I researched natural foods. Sunny weather, opportunities for year long outdoor exercising, an abundance of organically grown produce, and a strong emphasis on healthy living and natural foods. That is the California lifestyle. Amongst other things.

So it makes sense to have supplements that helps with adding protein to my diet. It helps, as I try to add foods to my diet, to have superfood supplements that can give me the extra nutrients I need. California blue green algae is that superfood with that extra kick I need in my everyday diet.
