What's your new favorite protein snack?

My surgery was on 6/27 and I'm trying to find new ways to get in all that protein. Yesterday I made some sugar free jello and added a scoop of Any Whey.

This morning I had some for breakfast with nonfat vanilla yogurt. Wow, what a nice breakfast!:hungry:

This is what I had:

1/2 cup SF jello = 3 gm protein

1/4 cup NF vanilla yogurt = 8 gm protein

So for 11 gms of protein I had a nice little breakfast.:clap2:

I may even have some more as a snack later tonight.

So what's your new favorite protein snack/meal?

Care to share?

I wish we had some decent stores here. We don't have a GNC or Vitamin Shop.

I never thought of putting anything in the low carb slim fast. I drink that a lot because like you said, all you have to do is pop open a can. It has more calories than the Atkins ones, but it also has more Protein in it. I kind of switch off between those.

With the vanilla low carb slim fast, you have a lot more fruit choices to add in. I've tried peaches, bananna and blueberry so far. But, I like the chocolate flavor better. I cannot think of too many other things to add to the chocolate....Hmmmm....maybe a tbl. of peanut butter in the chocolate. That might be good.

A little peppermint extract is good to add to the chocolate as well.

I have another little shake/smoothie that I made up and it's WONDERFUL! I use 1c skim milk 1 scoop protein powder (chocolate) 1/2 a banana (a small one) a cpl spoons of Bryer's carb smart ice cream put it in the blender and YUMMY tastes like a banana split!! MMMM Also I LOVE cottage cheese 0% plus by purity with some wheat crackers. Very good and filling snack.

I realize this is an old thread, but I recently discovered the "New Whey" 42gr vials. They can be mixed as a shake or drink them straight from the vial, which is my preferred method. Be sure to shop around on the web, I found several places much cheaper than my local GNC or Vitamin Shoppe.

As for the taste, not bad at all. It takes a little getting use to, but much better than those gritty, nasty smelling powder Protein shakes. I just chug it down.

My new favorite high protein is the Greek Yogurt! It comes in a variety of fat levels (non-fat, 2%, full fat, etc). The interesting this is that the non-fat varieties tend to have more protein! I am currently munching on Oikos brand Honey flavor Non-Fat greek Yogurt. 5.3 ounces for 13 grams of protein, no fat and 120 calories. Perfect for breakfast. I have also tried the blueberry. Also the Fage brand is good too.... just make sure to get the 2% or non-fat version. The full fat version has 12 grams of fat!! Craziness.
