Putting it in my mouth

[arewethereyet]

In an effort to gain and then maintain some weight, I bought some high calorie Boost drinks I have had before.  They are okay.

Also bought some protein bars that are supposedly chocolate and peanut butter.  They taste like sawdust with a bit of a peanut butter aftertaste with a low quality chocolate coating.  Not horrible, but I will have to look at these like medicine that I have to take once a day.  BLAH

Need to find some other high calorie things to eat regularly.

Not exactly high calorie, but if you're looking for protein, you can get a two-pound tub of protein powder for $20 at Aldi's and Walmart.  At one protein smoothie a day, it lasts about a month.  A cup of milk (I use almond milk), a scoop of powder, and frozen fruit or ice and mix in a blender.  If you use ice, you'll probably want to use some kind of flavoring.  I use chocolate, caramel, and strawberry syrup, or those Italian syrups they sell to put in your coffee, but that's on top of fruit.

I have a supply of mango syrup that I sometimes put in my tea.  I actually looked at protein powder but wasn't sure what else to do.  Thanks!
