[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everything now has added protein varieties, cereal, oatmeal, bars, shakes, chips, cookies, milk etc.

My kid is a very picky eater. We really need to up the protein intake, partially because she's hungry and grouchy without it. I wouldn't mind buying these protein fortified foods, but are they actually healthy? Some are loaded with sugar. Some have fake sugars. What proteins are better - soy isolate, whey, pea? They all seem like over processed junk.

Proteins are all fine. The issue is the sugar they add to make things palatable. If you have a picky eater, consider looking a small containers of flavored protein powder from various brands until you find something she likes. They usually use sucralose/Stevia/monkfruit which is healthier than the sugar or Aspartame you find in stores.

Some brands to look at are Keto Chow (their normal products are meal replacements but they have a "core" line which is mostly protein powder, and it comes in a portable individual packet), MTS whey protein (red velvet cake, peanut butter cookies and cream, triple chocolate cake), Rule 1 (I personally can vouch for their frozen banana), Ryse (Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup, Cookie Blast, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Jet Puffed Marshmallow), PeScience (Gourmet Vanilla, Frosted Chocolate Cupcake, Cakepop), MyProtein has "clear" protein that tastes more like juice than a milkshake (don't pay full price - they usually have sales and you can use the coupon code "JEFF" for 30% off), Dymatize ISO100 (Fruity Pebbles, Birthday Cake, or Fudge Brownie)
