Eggs ( scrambled soft) and cottage cheese

Unjury makes an unflavored protein that you can add to stuff that you like...might give that a try...

You may already be doing this, but drinking from a cup with a lid (not through a straw though) helps. The smell of the Protein can be a big contributing factor. I haaate cleaning blender bottles if it's sat for 6+ hours. Gag.

I'm a big fan of the Healthwise/Nutriwise drinks. This website has the best prices I could find, and they carry the full collection (unlike my surgeon's office): http://www.bariatriclifestylediet.com/brands/NutriWise.html. The classic hot chocolate is mah jam (15 grams protein and only 80 calories). I've tried most of their drinks, so PM me if you have any questions.

I've had really good results with New whey Protein "shots." It's 3.8 oz, comes in different flavors (mixed berry, grape, blueberry, watermelon) and it's 42 grams per 3.8 oz!!!! At our local grocery store, it's kinda expensive ($2.68 each) but for a woman, it's more than half of what you need for one day! I then follow up with chicken, Beans, cottage cheese or other.
