• A. Soy milk

Soy milk, while a good source of protein, may not provide as much protein density as dried beans. Peanut butter is a good source of protein but may not be as protein-dense as dried beans. Whole grains are not as high in protein content compared to dried beans, making them a less optimal choice for meeting the toddler's protein needs.
