My nutritionist recommended 60 gr. protein per day. Im having a hard time getting that in. I drink my Special K protein shakes which are 10 gr per drink. I have between 2-3 a day..I have a hard time getting the rest in..any suggestions?

Try other shakes with more protein, if you keep reading the posts here, you will find several kinds with much more protein.

Hi... Im you have a Smoothie King in your area... try the Low Carbohydrate meal replacment protein mix. Each serving has 45 grams of protein and 2 grams of carbs...its great

I read your other post and immediately searched for a Smoothie King...there are none within 100 miles of me I love the Special K Protein shakes..the taste is just like chocolate milk (not a big strawberry fan). I guess Im going to have to search for something else. I just hate the shakes that taste like your drinking crushed Vitamins ...bleeeech

lol... right I agree with you. They also have Chocalate and Vanilla.. I sure wish you where close to one. They are great.

I LOVE the Premier Protein shakes from Costco. They are 30 grams of protein and only 160 calories...I like all three flavors...they come ina n 18 pack carton. I have one every morning since I was banded (May of 09) because I am tight in the morning. I am a vegetarian d=so I eat a lot of beans (love the refried in a can) and nuts...

now I have to see if we have smoothie king! We do have Jamba Juice and I bet hey make something good...

^{Lean Shake at GNC is pretty yummy.. they taste kind of like chocolate milk... Also, if you ask in GNC they should have a sample for you to try.. at least they did in the one by me}

I had protien powder to my bottle protien shakes (boost). I add about a tablespoon into the bottle-I make a "funnel" with my hand. then spoon the powder in. I also, have a BIG problem getting my protein in each day.

Body fortress super advanced whey protein from walmart. It has 140 cal/2g fat/1 g sugar and 26g protein per 1 scoop = 52 g protein for 2 shakes. I like the chocolate but heard the strawberry is good.

Remember, your body can only process like 20-25 g Protein at a time, so doing a lot at once isn't going to help. I drink an powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chocolate splendor shake in the morning- it does taste like chocolate milk to me- they have a sample pack with 2 chocolate, 2 vanilla, 2 strawberry, 2 unflavored and 2 chicken broth you can buy at unjury.com. I tried a bunch, this is my fave.

I also eat greek yogurt, it has a lot of protein, and eat canned chicken or tuna (mix with a little no-fat mayo if you need it moist). I don't have any problems getting in my protein with these tips. I also keep track with my fitness pal, a free app on my android phone (not sure about iPhone). It lets me log all my food and exercise, and keeps track of my nutrients. Easy to track protein that way!

your protein drink is way too small amt of protein! I drink Jay Robb 25 grams of protein + 7 with soy milk. half your day is covered!

this tastes good, no carbs, stevia instead of belly fatting sugar or suralose sweeteners.

I also eat tuna with a tbs. of light miracle whip, sardines, salmon, turkey burgers. I eat these without bread, usually have fresh spinach or mixed greens.

I log my food on myfitnesspal.com it is easy to keep an

eye on what I am building each day.

I use Body Fortress Protein Powder (around $15 at Wal Mart) just add a scoop to your daily shake, it'll add 26 more grams of protein to your shake. You can also use powdered milk slip it into certain recipes will add protein to your diet. I believe 1/3 cup of powdered milk is like 4 grams of protein.

Thanks for all the suggestions! Im writing all these down for my shopping trip tonight!

I use body fortess too and its the best one I've tried. Special k doesn't have enough protein, and is loaded with sugar. I also like the Aes advantage carb control shakes (premade). when I make my own shakes, i always add something to make it better. Green tea powder with vanilla and its like a green tea latte from Starbucks, and instant coffee to make it like a frap. Also you can addo fruits. Get creative and try.different things and its not so bad.

Wal-Mart had an awesome protein whey powder, big container for 15 bucks 22 grams per scoop mix 2 scoops with FF milk. Chocolate peanut butter is terrific.
