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?

I use 0% fat greek yogurt. It is loaded with protein. I use Oikos brand and likethe honey and the strawberry best.

Slimfast Low carb is 20 grams per can and they taste fine.

I go for the Premier Nutrition protein shakes at Costco, too. Greek yogurt is second and I eat lots of fish. If I eat the fish and have one shake, I usually hit my 65 g of protein each day, no problem.

If you do go to jamba juice, they can add a protein boost to your smoothie to get the protein in there for you. I have done that on days where I am craving a sweet but want to keep my goals in mind.

Atkins shakes are tasty, I like the coffee one.

I really like the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein shakes, too. 20g of protein and only 100 calories. I have the chocolate splendor for Breakfast every morning.

I also eat a lot of tuna- it's loaded in protein.

I have just discovered the Premier Nutrition high protein shakes, they are 160 cals and 30 gms of protein (get them at Costco). I have one a day in the morning because I have a hard time with solids then. of course being a liquid, it doesn't really keep me full. You should try to get the rest of your protein from solids, like chicken, eggs, cheese (sorry, I didn't know if you were a vegetarian; in that case, legumes, tofu)....myfitnesspal is good for tracking, also available free on the blackberry.

I use MUSCLE MILK LIGHT in different flavors.

If I can't drink it down, I'll use 1/2 the amount of water,

and mix it up in a Dessert dish/cover. Freeze that for a while,

and have a excellent pudding with all the protein still there.

I too love the Special K shakes. I'm not a huge fan of the chocolate but love the strawberry. Just recently I picked up Protein for Her from Vitamin World. I do a scoop of that, 20 g protein with 8 oz skim/1% milk, mix well then add a special K shake to it to give it better flavor and a bit more body. It tastes great. And breakfast ends up being 1/2 my protein for the day.

I had a problem the getting the protein in at first, the shakes were not appealing. I ended up buying the Costco vanilla ready to drink ( it has 30g of protein), I blend some strawberries, bananas, blueberries with a Lillie non fat milk, then I pour the two together, tastes delicious! I don't blend the protein shake wi the fruit directly as I have found it gets too frothy and makes me feel gassy and bloated.

0% greek yoghurt and skimmed milk .. fresh protein

hubby makes my shakes,for now just protein powders from health food store, he sometimes puts 1/2 a banana or a tablespoon of peanut butter. Once summer is here Im sure we will be finding some great recipes!

I have tried a bunch of Protein shakes, I am too tight in the morning to eat bfast so since 2 weeks before being banded I have had a protein shake every morning. Here is my list in order:

Isopure Vanilla cream with cubes 1.5 scoop and 2 Splenda and I use NF milk

Muscle milk I like the chocolate I buy on the go sometimes at 7-11

Muscle milk vanilla 100 calorie

Premier from Wal Mart

Jay Robb chocolate

I try and mix it up from all the above. For lunch I have Morningstar "chicken" or buffalo wings (fake ones lol) I like chobani high protein and put high protein granola in it too to up my protein and eat it with a weight watchers cheese stick! That's my typical morning and lunch... I'm done with protein before noon. This is my taste and what I have done so it will be different for you but hope it helps give you some ideas. Good luck!

I use Any Whey - it is flavorless (almost) and I add it to my coffee in the am (20 g of protein) my cottage cheese or soup at lunch, etc.
