Non-Dairy protein suggestions

[kimr 37]

Hi, I'm looking for some suggestions/advice on non-dairy Protein. I'm in the pureed stage, moving to soft foods soon. I feel like all I eat for protein is dairy stuff (Protein shakes, cottage cheese, yogurt). Maybe once in awhile I get protein from a few Beans, but it's not the majority. My stomach seems upset quite a lot and I think it might be from all the dairy.

Any ideas out there for other sources? I do not eat fish, so no talapia, baby shrimp, etc.

Thanks!

google it - it saved my life. I can't have whey or casein

Edamame, ground turkey, I also cook up some chicken and then put it in the food processor to puree it. You could do that with turkey, chicken, (and beef, pork if they let you have that, though I'm thinking you probably shouldn't have beef or pork yet).

Scrambled eggs, any kind of egg really. Deviled eggs. Scotch eggs, Hard boiled eggs

(scotch eggs are hard boiled eggs (peeled) that are encased in ground turkey (will look like meatballs), rolled in parmesan cheese and then baked for 20 minutes at 350. THey are yummo.

Oh, I forgot--I jazz up my cottage cheese and yogurt by mixing in sugar free Jello. Gives it a whole new flavor and tastes like dessert!

I'm allergic to whey, I thought Unjury was whey Protein?

If you like it, pea Soup with ham (run through a blender/food processor). I also made chilli at that stage too.

I use Plant-based Protein powders from thevitaminshoppe.com ...( WLS made me Lactose)..if you go there, click on the "sports nutrition & workout" tab..then click on the "sports protein" tab..

I just bought the Vegetable Protein soy-free..no artificial sweetners, low fat, & 4 g carg per scoop..I like it so far..but then again, I put all kinds of frozen fruit and ground flax, cinnamon in my bullet and mix the hell out it,,,lol delish..I heard on this site, that Amazon.com has a lot of other kinds of protein powders also.

[KristinaRnY 455]

Does the plant-based Protein have a considerably less amount of protein per serving or is it pretty equivalent? I'm looking for the highest non whey protein I can find. I do not like the hemp protein blekk.

Here's the thing about that Kristina..besides the powder..I get my Protein from foods, I don't want my powder to be my daily allowance of protein. Im a eater/foodie..so I don't get high doses of powder. I get my other protein from my home made humus which consists of approximately 14 g's of protein per serving, I eat boiled eggs a lot which are like 6 g's each, I eat about 4 a day, I also eat all the nut butters on celery or what ever and Nut butters are 7g's a serving..so durning the day I kickin' some protein a$$. I also eat TONS of baked chicken breasts...I know this doesn't help Kimr much, but humus is soft , you can make soft boiled eggs, I have ton of other protein I eat also, but your not their yet.

eggs, turkey, tuna, and chicken are all big on Protein. Most can be eaten in the soft food stage.

[pookybear 284]

Peanut Butter is great too, especially PB2

[Dee_1111 317]

healthaliciousness.com...
