Protein Help

[Nessa0121 14]

I'm struggling to get my Protein in. I need new ideas. I'm very picky and have been sticking mostly to strawberry flavored Protein shakes but they're getting "old". There's only so much a person can take.

Any suggestions?

Try the unflavored Unjury Protein powders to put into Soups or whatever. I've heard that quite nice.

what stage of food are you in? I may have some suggestions.

I'm eating nonfat Greek yogurt 1/2 cup and adding 1/2 scoop of my Protein Powder. It comes to a total of 18.5 grams of Protein. It doesn't taste horrible and if you freeze it it's almost like an ice cream treat.

During my liquid phase, I was allowed anything that would be liquid at room temp or warmer, which included popsicles and pudding. So I would often make sugar-free, fat-free pudding with a Protein shake instead of milk, and add in a scoop of Protein Powder. It would give me something to slowly eat over the course of the day and had over 50 grams of Protein, so I was basically getting all the protein I needed just from my pudding, which also tasted delicious and felt very soothing to my pouch. Another thing I would occasionally do is mix a scoop of unjury chicken Soup flavored protein powder into low sodium chicken broth and sip on that. It was also very high protein, especially if I got chicken or beef broth with has 16g of protein in 32 ounces just by itself. Adding the powder was just icing on the protein cake. Hope this helps!
