Answering Email Questions 5/9/12

Email Question 
Hello there, I hope all is well with you all and I really hope all is going well with your son! I have another health question for you. My daughter is a huge athlete. She is currently in the rowing season and it is very physically demanding. She is trying to add more protein to her diet, especially for lunch and school. She takes her lunch every day and one of her best friends is very allergic to peanuts and can not be around peanut products. Norma does not care for lunch meats and is big on hot foods should be hot and cold foods should be cold. I am trying to find something she can take in place of a peanut butter sandwich that will still give her the protein she is looking for. Any ideas?




Response:

She could replace peanut butter for all natural almond butter. Most people are not allergic to almonds. 
She could also buy a light protein pre-made shake like PREMIER PROTEIN® SHAKE. I drink one a day to make sure i get enough protein in. It doesn't need to be refrigerated. 

Info on shake:
Each shake is nutrient rich with 8 Essential Amino Acids, 24 Vitamins & Minerals and Calcium.
30g Protein - 160 Calories - 1g Sugar - Low Fat

Here is some info on food protein
