I don’t know what it is but I just don’t like protein shakes and I’m getting tired of forcing them down. Are there any other recipe recommendations so I can still get the extra protein in.

    I really like the Dose and Co collagen creamer. The serving size is smaller, so it’s less protein, but it is a little boost you can mix into your morning coffee, and honestly, I really like it. It’s not gritty, it mixes easily with a little whisk, and doesn’t have a weird flavor.

    I also like to make scrambled eggs with unflavored whey or collagen protein. The collagen powder (I used ancient nutrition) mixes really easily, but unflavored whey also works well. I mix 3 eggs, 1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese, protein powder and some seasonings like garlic and onion powder and chili powder. I’m also prone to chop up some green onions and cherry tomatoes. It’s roughly 300 calories and 30 G protein depending on your ingredients.

    Tuna salad sandwiches on keto bread. The brand I buy is 60 calories and 6 G protein per slice, and the tuna filling is 1 can of tuna, 2 tbsp of light mayo, a stalk of celery and some green onions. Oh, and I like to add hot sauce but it’s not necessary. Roughly 370 calories, 40g protein.

    Oatmeal is also a great choice. My favorite is the kind oatmeal, and a scoop of Legion’s cinnamon cereal whey (plus a little extra water to mix). It’s about 300 cal and 36g protein IIRC.

    You can also get creative with unflavored protein powder. Anything creamy and fairly liquid, you can mix whey into. I often mix it into mashed potatoes and other sauces. For soups and things that are not creamy, I use collagen powder which has very little flavor and mixes easily. I mix the collagen powder into egg drop soup, which is literally just chicken broth, eggs, and some garlic, ginger, and cracked pepper. Takes about 10 minutes to make, ultra low calorie and filling.
