I hear nut butter is full of protein.

True. Spread it on a cracker.

Who doesn't love nutty, buttery goodness?

EVERYONE BACK UP -- I'M AN UNTRAINED PROFESSIONAL.

Tuna, eggs, skim milk, whey protein, lean meats, cottage cheese, Kashi Golean, Greek Yogurt, peanut butter, almond butter, all nuts (almonds are the best), chicken, protein bars, beans -- Durrrr, I'm out of ideas.

Is is just whole beans that you do not like? If so, you might try something like a hummus or bean dip. One of my favorites is to mix a can of drained white beans in a food processor and puree with some garlic, lemon, salt, pepper, and parsley. It makes a great dip for fresh veggies but provides protein as well.

It's the flavor and consistancy of beans so I guess all around.. My mom is mexican american and my dad from Massachusetts so refired beans were a regular dinner item for mom and baked beans for dad --- I hated them both! Thanks for responding I appreciate it!

Nuts are generally high in protein. And if you're still finding that it's hard to get enough, you can always use a protein shake mix for an extra boost.

This is how I up my protien. Bonus soluble protien is quickly absobed too.

Oh yeah and peanut butter, but be careful its cal heavy

Don't forget soy protein (alternative to whey protein). How about cottage cheese? How about yogurt? Ever tried vanilla soy milk?

I make a great shake with 1 cup soy milk, chocolate soy protein, instant coffee packet, 1 truvia sugar packet, ice, and vanilla yogurt!

Such a boost.
