No I haven't tried unflavored Protein. and mmmmm I dont like greek yogurt or cottage cheese. Any ideas on what kind foods I can have that have protein ???

Greek yogurt plain is gross, so I am not sure if that is why you are saying that you do not like it. I always sweeten it with sugar free syrups (torani) and splenda. Then it is thick and creamy and yummy! You can also use it to make shakes, just add a little milk, strawberries or whatever fruit you like, and splenda to sweeten.

I'll second the syrups, and spices. I get the fat free "honey" yogurt (Oikos organic) and add the smallest pinch of Vietnamese cinnamon, and some Splenda. Tastes reasonably like cinnamon cheesecake. Salted Caramel SF syrup also goes well in plain Greek yogurt.

Just like Protein, you can doctor this stuff up to taste reasonably like - anything. PB2 and Splenda whizzed into it will make something not completely different from the filling of a PB cookie.

This search on Google can help: tofu recipes ("low fat" OR "low calorie" OR healthful)

Also, you can puree tofu in the blender along with some splenda or equal + Water or milk + fruit or Protein powder - even green leafy vegetables, such as spinach!. Puree it on the highest speed (I have a VitaMix). Add a few ice cubes and puree them as well. You have a smoothee. You essentially turntofu into a liquid. This pureeing technique works with firm, medium, soft and silken textures of tofu. I do find that different brands of tofu have different flavors. My own personal favorite brand is Mori Nu. You can order cases of Mori Nu online. But other people might find other brands to be better. Tofu always has helped me lose weight in the past. I hope that this information is helpful.
