    These are great suggestion, you can also add Greek Yogurt, or peanut butter.

    100% Whey Protein Isolate is the best kind of protein powder to get. I get mine from Costco. The brand name is Kaizen and it’s in the MFP database. They have two great flavours: Vanilla Ice Cream and Decadent Chocolate. Both go great with fruit! You can mix it with soy milk if you want, but its more calories. I can drink it with just some water and ice in the blender and its good stuff!

    Definitely try protein powder. I make my smoothies with a scoop of powder, 1 tba of either peanut or almond butter, 1 cup of unsweetened almond butter and 1/2 cup of blueberries. I to to watch my sugar intake so I opt for berries.

    Dairy products are usually the go-to protein source, but I avoid them for health reasons (arthritis)

    I use pea protein, rice protein, and soy protein. I have good results with all of them, but the soy is easiest to find, I use "Naturade Total Soy" :glasses:
