PB has 4 g protein per tablespoon, so easy to get a portion of the 120 g goal through PB. Definitely best not to get the entire 120 g from PB.

Too bad those are almost $4 each. The regular Fairlife with 30g of protein are only $1.75 each at Sams Club.

and by far the best tasting protein drinks

It is even cheaper if you get some protein powder & add enough powder to get 40g. That ends up being like $0.50 or less.

Eggs and Greek yogurt. Protein Drinks/bar to supplement. Cottage cheese is gross but good.

These are good. And if she won't drink a protein shake, probably set a new goal

I linked one above that is at 42 grams, but fairlife drinks are very good.

I think the standard Fairlife are $30 for an 18 pack.

Greek yogurt, eggs, and a decent (20g+) protein bar will go a long way.

If she's not trying to build muscle, she might have to consume a lot of calories to get 120g
