Protein shots

Has anyone tried the liquid protein shots?  Are they an appropriate choice to increase my protein?  I'm just getttin about 60 grams a day now.

Most of those that I have found are not a good source of protein because the type of protein they usually have in them doesn't absorb in our bodies very well... I think it's called collagen protein? Look at the ingredients list.

When I need to add more protein, I add in an extra protein shake.

 Thanks!  I'm afraid that's what I'm going to have to do.  Those shakes are torture, but I'm sure I can at least get half of another one in to up my protein!

What kind of shake are you using?  Maybe there's some way we can think of to doctor it up to make it more palatable :)

 That would be great!

I was doing ok with the Body Fortress Chocolate Peanut Butter and adding PB2 (mixed in skim milk).  When I mixed it in my blender bottle, it was still a little gritty.  When I'd mix it in the blender, it was really frothy / foamy.  Next I moved on to Sytrax Matrix Bananas and Creme (with skim milk).  It mixes nicely in my blender bottle and I can get it down.  It's just the aftertaste.  After the first few drinks, the aftertaste makes it miserable choking down the rest...but I do it because I know I have to!  I've also tried the mint cookie that everyone talks about.  Mint chocolate has never been a favorite of mine, so it's just ok.  I also occasionally do the RTD EAS carb advantage cafe caramel....it's pretty good, but not really as much protein as I'd like...only 17g in 11 ounces.

I'm doing a shake for breakfast, then 2 ounces of meat for lunch and dinner and then usually cheese or more meat for a snack.  That usually gets me right at 60 grams of protein per day.

Any suggestions are welcome!!

Have you tried the Premier shakes? If you have a Sam's Club or Costco near you, I recommend these. 160 cals and 30 grams of protein in 11oz. The chocolate one just tastes like chocolate milk IMO, and the vanilla is okay... not my favorite, but tolerable.

I've been meaning to try mixing in a few berries with the vanilla flavor or just a pinch of peanut butter in the chocolate one, just to mix things up a little.

 I do have a sams!  I think I'll run over there now and grab some!  Thank you for the suggestion!!

 How much do a case of those Premier Shakes cost?

$18.88 at my Sam's Club and $24 at the Costco I went to by my brother's house.  You can check the Sam's club site and they'll give you an accurate price for your area and tell you if your Sam's carries them.  :)

 I just got back from Sam's and I think I paid $18.88 for a 12 pack!
