as I type I'm drinking a shake here's what I put in it, it is a HIGH cal shake so it might take a ton of your daily allowance. I love Reeses and this tastes just like it. My goal is right now to gain muscle which explains high cal intakes.
2 scoops chocolate protein powder (52g protein)
2 Tbsp peanut butter (7g protein)
8oz 1% milk (8g protein)
4oz water/ice
total 560 cal, 26g carb, 23g fat, 67g protein and taste really good if you like Reeses. If you want less Cal replace milk with water and 1 scoop powder 1 tbsp PB
I'd like to gain muscle also. Do you replace a meal with this, or is it in addition?0 -
I do like beans, so I appreciate the reminder to add more of those, but I'll pass on protein powder because I want to learn to get my nutrition from my food.
Guilty. I should probably do the same.0 -
EGG WHITES! Sometimes... I like to add a bit of cinnamon and splenda to the egg whites while I fry it and its reminicent of French Toast mmmmmmm nom nom. You can also mix it in with anything basically. Omlets, tuna (cooked obvi), cheese, sushi, the list goes on.
Also, I actually mix protein powder into my oat meal as an every day snack. I do about 1/3 cup quick oats (100 cal) with half a scoop of chocolate whey protein powder (60 cal) with a bit of spenda, cinnamon, vanilla, or whatever spice I'm feeling that day. I like to pretend it's a cookie. (If you can't tell I have a sweet tooth)
Also, you can make a chocolate protein powder smoothy with some greek yogurt and PB2.0 -
I have been on a fish and greek yogurt kick for the last few days, I mix tuna/ salmon or even tofu with 1/4 cup of greek yogurt, some salsa, and some banana peppers or peppercinis. It is really fantastic. i made it one time with a can of tuna as a last minute dinner and it had over 80 grams of protein and only 425 calories, so fish is a lean way to get more protein. I have been using greek yogurt as i would mayo, in tuna salad, edge salad, and deviled eggs, and it is delicious!
Gotta try this!! Sounds yummy.0 -
I'm making a grocery list. Thanks everyone!0

I mix vanilla flavored protein powder with my strawberry yogurt. If you close your eyes and wish really hard it starts to taste like strawberry cheesecake.0

i use Body Fortress vanilla and add it to my Silk fruit n protein. Makes a yummy smoothie. If I have it on hand, I will also add some spinach and blueberries (the silk flavor is usually strawberry banana that I use)0

If you like cottage cheese, it is high in protein (14g per 4 oz) and low cal and low carb. I like it with fruit (especially peaches).0

Also look for high protein breads and pastas.. usually multigrain bread will have around 5g per slice and Barilla Plus pasta has 10g per serving and is DELICIOUS!0

If you want high-protein low-cal strawberry cheese cake then make a smoothie! Here's a photo of mine, it's cottage cheese, frozen strawberries, milk and sweetener and delicious even for a cheese-hater like me!
My exact recipe is;
1 cup strawberries, slices
0.5 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup non-fat low-sodium cottage cheese (Nordica brand)
1.2 cup 1% milk
2 packets of 0-cal sweetener
Serves 1, 3 WW Points, 204 cals, 342mg sodium, 1g fat, 30g carbs, 20g protein, 6g fiber.

This looks BETTER than cheesecake!!!0 -
Oatmeal+chocolate protein powder=YUM!
Greek yogurt+chocolate protein powder=YUM!
I have chocolate at home. I am definitely doing this!
If you like peanut butter, add a TBSP of that with the oatmeal and chocolate protein powder. Tastes like a cookie!0 -

Try protein shots for $2.99 you will get 39 to 43 grams of protein in every shot, They are in the diet isle in grocery stores, and on the lentil suggestion just make them like chili’s with out the meat part. I like it better then the beans.0

I did not know that. Thanks :flowerforyou:0 -
I don't eat much meat these days and I totally dislike fish. EGGS and QUORN keep my protein topped up. But I do like, nuts, seeds and beans too.0

Have you tried lentils? Beluga Lentils are SUPER high in protein. I get mine from Trader Joe's.
Honestly, never! How are they taste-wise?
LOL, like lentils. IDK, I guess somewhat like a split pea but nuttier?!0 -
A good Protein Shake will do the trick.. I Drink the shake for my post workout -
good quality protean can be found here http://www.atlargenutrition.com/products/
'for me its the best
they are out of chocolate nitrean (protein Powder)
My shake - (im on a low cal diet)
1 scoop Chocolate Nittrean - Protean powder
1/2 scoop Chocolate Opticen - Meal replacement
teaspoon peanut butter
1 1/4 cup of water
11 ice cubes ( depends on size of cube) water line should touch near the top cup (for magic bullet)
magic bullet blender - haha
Calories 216 - Carbs 13g - Fat 5g - Protein 31g
that is half the normal amount of protean needed for a person weighing 150lbs (200 lbs needs 175g of protein)
if your eating less then that amount of protean you are loosing muscle as you body starts breaking the muscle mass down as it doesn't have protein to break down0 -
This morning I had Whey protein powder with 3/4 cup frozen strawberries , nonfat plain yogurt 1/2 cup, & 1/2 cup 1% organic milk.0
