Protein shakes or other ideas?

My doctor wants me to really start pumping in as much protein as possible. I have tried with shakes and I have thrown up. Anyone have a shake they really like? She even told me to put ice cream in it. Carbs and sugar are not a problem either. I don't dump since I had the DS andI they told me I can afford to eat more sugar, fat, carbs, and protein... but for baby's brain development they want me to really push the protein. 

Thanks!

I have a really hard time drinking protein shakes too :(
If you are just looking at getting in more protein and are not worried about sugar/carbs I would suggest some of the better tasting protein bars! They seem to be much easier to eat.. some even taste like candy bars to me! I really love the snickers ones, but I know there are other brands out there that have higher protein counts, some have like 30 grams of protein per bar!
If you get creative I am confident you will find something you like. Hang in there!

 i will try that! Thanks so much!

I am so worried about this, I am about to be ten weeks and I have had little to no protein since about week 4 from morning sickness.  It is so bad that my hair is falling out :(  The problem is the same with me, the taste and the resultant nausea.  You got me worried now that you mention your doctor said "brain development"....

 I know it's scary, You can do it! If I can anyone can! Hang in there!

My OB told me that in the first trimester, just try to get in calories as best you can.  Obviously a well-balanced diet chalk-full of protein is preferable.  Because I was losing weight during my first trimester, the OB said, just get calories in. 

The other tirmesters are another story.  Your protein is very important.  Good luck with it.  I am struggling too but my nausea is so strong that shakes and bars are not an option right now.  I have chicken breast 4 times a day.  Not much chicken breast, but at least it is something, right.

Good luck!

I can tolerate the chocolate and strawberry RTD Muscle Milk....I can't handle anything that's not ready-made.  

I wonder if that's my problem as well I will try the ready made ones. Thanks! 

I myself love the Rockin roll protein bars, they taste just like a Payday candy bar. Also Pure Protein bars are good too. I lived off those since I could not stand the smell or taste of meat during pregnancy.

 thanks so much! I will try those!
