When do I have my proteins?

Most vegetarians like myself find it a struggle to get enough proteins everyday. I spread out my protein intake throughout the day. And, I used to make it a point to have some protein before exercise. Well, that is not the right way to do it. Proteins are most needed after exercise.

For me, the easiest way to get enough protein is to just have a protein shake. I have found the best tasting shakes are the ones made with a cup of berries (mix of blueberry, strawberry, raspberry and blackberry), a banana, 1 cup of milk and 2 scoops of vanilla flavored protein powder. The only issue I have is, a tall glass of protein shake fills me up enough to skip dinner. I sometimes get up hungry in the middle of the night.
