==Simple GOMAD==
If you don't have access to a blender, you can still make a simpler version of the GOMAD with a shaker bottle using the Milk, Whey, Casein, ground flax seeds and Metamucil. Put the ingredients in a dry shaker, shake to mix up the powders, then add the milk and shake thoroughly. It's important to shake up the powders to prevent the Metamucil forming lumps. ==Vegetarian GOMAD==My standard GOMAD mixture contains a lot of animal protein sources. It is possible to substitute alternatives, but you should use caution. * '''Whey and Casein Protein Powder'''. Soy protein can be used instead of Whey and Casein powder, though it is not as effective (Soy powder has a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_Value biological availability] of 74, compared with 77 for casein and 94 for whey). There are also [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soy_controversy health concerns] with soy protein, primarily due to the presence of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phytoestrogens phytoestrogens] which are similar to female sex hormones. * '''Milk'''. Using Soy milk instead of skim milk will provide more fat, including some [[Omega 3]]. The concerns noted above on soy protein also apply to soy milk. Other non-animal 'milk' products, such as almond milk could be used. Note that most non-animal 'milk' products have added sugar. * '''Eggs'''. I found no real alternative to eggs that provides the combination of proteins, fats and vitamins. ==Lactose Intolerant GOMAD==If you are lactose intolerant, you should not have a problem with Whey and Casein protein powder, as there is very little lactose remaining. However, it is best to start with smaller quantities and make sure you are using a high quality powder. The more expensive powders typically have less lactose, but this is not a guarantee. The milk can be replaced with water or a milk alternative as noted above in 'Vegetarian GOMAD'. Note that if you have a milk allergy, you should avoid Whey and Casein as this is a far more serious condition than lactose intolerance.
