I take the time to make yogurt shakes for breakfast. I can include veggies like carrots, celery and spinach. Naturally add the veggies you like. I also add fruits; fresh, frozen and/or canned. I make several servings at a time to ease the morning time crunch. Oatmeal has the same amount of proteain that one egg has. So many of us older folks don't eat enough protein rich foods.

It's true that many older adults don't get enough protein. I can't eat meat, so getting the right amount is awfully hard for me.
I add protein powder of various kinds to whatever I'm eating (as appropriate), and also things like nutritional yeast, although I can only have a little bit of that. But every little bit helps! I also like the Carnation Light Start Instant Breakfasts. I have pea protein powder to add to soups, and sugar free/low sugar vanilla and chocolate protein powders to add to milk for smoothies, along with yogurt as you do.

The average American eats 2 to 3 times the needed amount of protein. Ask your doctor how much you need. Yogurt has quite a bit.
