Hi Tina,

I get my protein in a couple of ways....Chobani Flip Greek yogurt, Kind bars, Premier protein bottles, and I make a protein shake with vanilla whey, a banana, milk and a tbsp of almond butter. Other than that I get it through food.

Finding what you like is trial and error with flavor, name brands, and ingredients.

I like the Pure Protein Vanilla Creme - Whey. I tried the Muscle Milk Cookies n Creme and I really don't like it. I have also tried plant based ones and didn't like them.

You're welcome. All the flavors are good..Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberies & Creme and Bananas & Creme ALL SO YUMMY

How much protein are you goaled at and how much are you getting on average?

I do protein shakes for breakfast every morning because I can make it the night before and drink it while driving to work. Easy peasy. I use a plant-based protein (SunWarrior, Warrior Blend, chocolate) because my body doesn't always handle dairy well (ie. whey). If you are new to protein powder, do be aware that plant powders don't usually mix as well as whey protein and have a different taste - but personally, I really like mine. Only 100 cal and it gives me 16g of protein, not to mention the other goodies in there. For example, it gives me decent amounts of iron & potassium, whereas most cheaper whey proteins will be strictly protein. It is chocolate flavored and I mix it with water/almond milk and sometimes cold coffee. If you get a vanilla flavored one, you can make a true "shake" by mixing with peanut butter, or fruits, and using a blender.

Other sources of protein: eggs, yogurt, those low-fat string cheese sticks (50cal gives 7g protein!), and if it falls in your calorie goals, then nuts and nut butters.

I use Elevation Protein Powder (Chocolate) from Aldi. It tastes really good with unsweetened Almondmilk. I also have been eating Yoplait's Greek 100 Protein yogurts. They have about 15g of protein per container.
