The issue, the plan

Recently I learned I am eating enough protein daily to fuel a 9-13 year old child! Which would be great! Except I'm over 40! And I have 9-13 year old children to keep up with! 

So that's the issue. 

The plan is to eat more protein. I'm starting at a modest/shockingly inadequate 26g so at least improvement shouldn't be too far out of reach!

 Isopure 20g protein/scoop added to water. About $35, Target.  I don't hate it. It's not chalky tasting but they're very specific about letting it settle and not drinking it until the foam is gone. The first time it reminded me a little of a fruity medicine I took as a kid but the second time it didn't. Just tasted like a fruity drink. I put it in a shaker bottle with water and ice and shake it 3 separate times before drinking. This is the tropical fruit flavor and it's a nice way to get extra protein without the heft of the thicker protein powders or shakes. Next time I will try mixed berry.
