    My fave protein powder is Vitamin Shoppe's bodytech whey tech pro 24, in rich chocolate. I drink it with cold coffee and add 1 tbsp of cocoa powder (10cals) and it's awesome. I have been having it as breakfast lately with milkwise milk and PB2, too. They have sample packets, too so you can try a bunch before buying a huge tub.

    Hardboiled eggs, turkey breast (I get natural, nitrate free from hormel) and greek yogurt are great sources of protein too. Watch the sugar on the greek yogurt too. I mixed a plain one yesterday with 1/3 of a scoop of my protein powder and it was pretty good.

    What are good ON gold standard flavors? I'm a little wary to try the more "out there" ones because you have to buy a big tub and what if it's gross.

    These are all good flavors I rotate in 5lb tubs
    Double Rich Chocolate
    Chocolate Coconut
    Vanilla Ice Cream
    Coffee
    Mocha Cappuccino

    I've noticed I'm consistently not meeting my protein goals. I don't eat very much meat - it's expensive and I'm a struggling student - so I try to supplement with beans, lentils, etc. When I do get a chance to eat meant it's usually chicken or fish.

    I'd like to find a way to up my protein intake and I was thinking - I drink a smoothie every morning, and wondered if adding protein powder to this was a good idea? My brothers who are always working out and trying to up their weights have told me if I add protein without working out more I'll gain weight. HELP??

    Also, for those interested, this is my favourite smoothie ever:

    1 cup berries (1/2 cup raspberries, 1/2 cup mixed sour cherry berries)
    1/2 cup peach juice
    1 cup 1% milk
    1 cup spinach

    I put protein powder in my smoothies. You can usually buy small packets to sample to see if you even like it. I ended up buying a huge container from Costco. It took awhile but I just finished it.

    It has calories, but just count them. You don't have to use a full scoop, also.

    Whole Foods used to have some single serving powders for you to try out before you bought them. Not sure if they still do, but it's an idea. :)

    In my area the price of eggs has gone back down, so if you are interested you might check the prices where you live.
