Dairy
Dairy foods such as milk and eggs contain phenylalanine. Also products made with dairy such as yogurt and cheese also have phenylalanine.
Soy
Soy products, whole soy, or soy protein (such as tofu) have both protein and phenylalanine.
Beef and Poultry
Beef and poultry are beneficial for not only their protein but also for their phenylalanine.
Fish
Fish is beneficial to the human body in many ways because it contains omega-3 fatty acids and phenylalanine.
Nuts
Walnuts, hazelnuts, cashews, and peanuts are not only good for us as protein, but are also a good source of fatty acids and phenylalanine.
Seeds
Flax, sunflower, and pumpkin seeds all serve the dual jobs of being good for the body and being a good source of phenylalanine.
