    I have two fruit/yogurt smoothies a day.
    I love smoothies, too!

    I make mine with Greek yogurt and the brand I use has 18 g of protein per serving.

    I try to vary my protein sources ... chicken, lots of fish (wild salmon, halibut, rainbow trout, sardines in olive oil), shrimp, whole eggs & some red meat.

    I use the GNC brand (100% whey).

    Ground Turkey
    Chicken Breasts
    Greek Yogurt
    Eggs
    Peanut Butter
    Salmon and Tuna
    Whole Grains (have a large amount of protein believe it or not...)

    That is where I get my 120+ grams of protein a day from...

    I have just started doing protein smoothies and love it!! Walmart sells Whey protein its 15 dollars for a large jar.....several different flavors. I mix mine with fruit, plain fat free yogurt and sometimes 100% fruit juice if not water or milk. and its not that bad on sugar!!

    I know that this site is VERY popular for protein powders and meal shakes:

    http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/

    They also allow you to search for the shakes/powders by gender and diet plan which will let it give you recommendations like "if you are trying to gain, get this, if you are trying to lose, get this" although it may not be as straight forward as that.

    I think they are cheaper than GNC even with shipping/handling.

    make protein shakes..buy a whey protein from walmart its about 15 dollars for a HUGE bottle..and then get a recipe from this website: www.dashingdish.com
    she has AMAZING shakes, and it makes it taste like an ice cream shake but its not and its only about 200-300 calories and they fill you up! plus they get rid of a sweet tooth(:

    If you like smoothies definitely try it with some greek yogurt. It's packed with protein and calcium.

    Black-eyed peas with a bit of bulgar wheat has been a favorite of mine lately. Mix it with veggies and it's a great summer meal!
    (**Note: If you get your protein from beans, always combine them with a grain source to get all your essential amino acids)

    Whey protein is expensive and there really is no need for it if you can get protein from your diet, so try and start with the food. Regular old milk is a far less expensive option that will give you a good boost!

    Quinoa (as far as I know the only non-meat substance that is a complete protein)
    I also like fiber bars by Fiber One or FiberPlus!!! The FiberPlus Caramel coconut tastes like a Samoa!!!
