is there anything i can add (that isn't whey or some other supplement) to my shake?

[Spawn]

I can't afford supplements all the time so is there anything else that i can use as a substitute? These days i put up with 2 cups of milk, 3-4 bananas and peanut butter for my shake :(

I want to improve the protein quantity of my shake anyway i can with the above constraints. Trying to bulk, by the way, so any info would be great.

I don't know if you would taste the cottage cheese/milk/yogurt but that's all I can think of that will give you some good protein w/o tasting so bad in a shake.

Plain yogurt has about 16g of protein per cup

[largelegsbuthot]

Powdered milk. (Normally used for baking, milkshakes and coffee)
It would taste great in your shakes, and it's not expensive compared to whey.
You can buy a giant bag of it from Price Club or your local supermarket for $15 Canadian for 5kg bag.
1 cup of powdered milk has 24 grams of protein compared to 1 cup of 1%milk which has only 9 grams of protein. Drink Up!

oats blend them first into a powder 100g = 350 cals roughly and lots of carbs

The only difference is that it is dehydrated into powder form so you can get 3x the nutrition in a 1 cup serving.

Powdered Skim Milk 1cup; 245 cals, 24g protein, 0g fat, 0.3g saturated fat, 12mg cholestorol, 35g carbs, 373mg sodium.

Lowfat Skim Milk 1cup; 125 cals, 9g protein, 5g fat, 2.9 saturated fat, 18mg cholesterol, 12g carbs, 128mg sodium.

It tastes great, I put it in fruit smoothies along with a cup of milk for the rich taste and it is relatively cheap.

Great carb source, and yet he said he wanted a protein source.

cottage cheese along with the milk and a little ice, or just freeze your banana and i recommend a little splenda and cinnamon for flavor. It makes it have a milkshake consistency. And you won't taste the cottage cheese.

ermm... another big difference is the fat content/overall calories (powdered being much lower).

All the more better....cheaper, tastier, higher in protein + nutrition, lower in fat......need I go on? Go and get you some powdered milk.
