Folks,
I am a (mad) cow-fearing vegetairan. But, it looks like my protein
intake sucks (self-realization after a two-week food-diary). Any
advice on protein shakes?

Protein shakes are an expensive way to drink flavoured skim milk so buy some
skim milk powder, put a lot in the blender and throw in a banana or whatever
(and some water of course!).

The extra protein I get from whey powder is about 62 cents per day. It's
$22 for a 5 pound tub. A 32 gram scoop of whey powder contains 22 grams
of protein. 5 lbs = 2,268 grams. A 5 pound tub contains 71 servings. If I
have 2 scoops a day. It comes out to about 62 cents per day for 44 grams
of protein.
