Hi, I'm having trouble getting all the Protein in. My NUT and surgeon recommend 80-90 grams per day. I'm not a big meat eater at all. I don't eat steak, pork chops, or even a chicken breast. I can eat a small amount of shredded chicken or ground beef, or canned tuna...but that's getting old quick. I still haven't found a Protein shake that I like either. So I would really appreciate some suggestions of how I get boost up my protein intake without feeling like I'm eating a whole animal.

Thank you!

​I also buy Body Fortress, in chocolate only. I add some decaf instant coffee and some peppermint extract with the milk and tons of ice and make a thick shake. I have one every day for breakfast and love them. The coffee and peppermint kills the medicine taste from the shake

My dietitian told me to buy Cliff Protein bars, 20g of protein. I love the chocolate mint ones. (Yes I love chocolate and mint). I keep the bars cold

For protein how about ground beef? Like meatballs with tomato sauce or sweet and sour meatballs. For the sweet and sour I use low sugar grape jelly and equal part of chili sauce. Put them into a pot and heat until they come to a boil. Make your meatballs (or turkey, chicken etc.) put into the pot and turn on low for about 1 hour. They are great. I usually have 3-4 per serving depending on the size I make. They freeze well, too.

Thanks Carolinagirl! Can I get that brand on Amazon? I live in Germany right now and choices are slim. Great idea on meatballs, Dylan! I will definitely try that!

Saw a good idea on here on a different thread.. Mixing protein powder into home made jello

I had trouble getting them in as well. I found Syntrax Nectar works great. They have all sorts of flavors and the fruit ones taste just like Crystal Light. It's a lot of trial and error before you find something that makes it easy to get down.
