Protein powder tips:

Mix with skim or 1% milk, unsweetened soy milk, unsweetened almond milk, water or
sugar free beverages with 10 calories or less per serving. If mixed with cow milk or soy
milk this increases the total protein intake (1 oz = 1 gram protein).

Add to foods. Small amounts mixed into foods throughout the day can increase overall
protein intake another 20-30 grams by the days end, if a full serving is used.
Protein supplements may be available for purchase and sample online. Try the manufacturer’s
website or some of the sites listed below:
