Replacing milk protein [View all]

I've recently changed from cow's milk to almond milk and coconut milk yogurt. The thing is, I'm losing ALOT of complete protein that I got every day from milk yogurt and milk.

Any suggestions on the best (ie easiest and cheapest) way to replace this?

I'm partial to chia seed and avocadoes. You can add both to smoothies. Soak the chia seeds first. freshwest Jan 2012 #16

I've been using chia for about three years obamanut2012 Jan 2012 #17
