Despite consuming the food sources of protein, I still can't meet my macro goal. Any suggestions on protein shakes?

    Cottage cheese is a great source as well.

    I just finished the most amazing smoothie - literally was thinking that I don't think I will ever need to have a milkshake again... this was so much better!!!

    1 scoop Body Fortress Vanilla Creme protein powder
    1/2 banana (sliced and frozen)
    3/4 cup tropical mixed frozen fruit
    1/3 cup milk
    water to fill Magic Bullet cup

    seriously amazing... and very high protein while being relatively low calorie. The frozen fruit (especially the banana) makes it thick like a milkshake.

    I get most of my protein from eggs, tuna, protein shakes after workouts (I use the Costco stuff Leanfit), chicken, cottage cheese.

    Not to jack this thread, but how does the Costco protein taste? Want to give it a try.

    Tonight I had one cup of Greek yogurt with a full scoop of protein powder. It's usually very hard for me to get all my protein with food alone and not going over the carbs or fat.

    How do you prepare that? I don't want to spend too much money if I can't stand the taste. ;)

    Whey protein can be used in milk or water and blended with fruit like a smoothie. Yummy!

    Gold Standard Whey is known for its good taste and high quality.

    Beyond that, whey can be used in a lots of recipes. From pancakes to oatmeal to homemade protein bars. Just do a little research and you'll find all kinds of things you can do with it besides shakes. :smile:
