Breakfast Shake

Diet and Nutrition
1

Anyone got a good breakfast shake/smoothie recipe? I have a hard time choking down a lot of food in the mornings and usually don’t have a lot of time to prep and eat, even if I could.

I’m interested in a high calorie, high protein shake, preferrably fruit based as a opposed to chocolate or peanut buttery.

I’m basically looking for something fast and as close as I can get to a well balanced breakfast. Something I can drink on the way to class or work.

I’d be interested in other quick and nutritious breakfast ideas as well!

Thanks guys!

I know you said fruity, but I like 2 scoops ON whey, 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup oats, 1 large banana and 1 large spoonful of natty pb. If I’m in a hurry and can’t make food this is what I make.

frozen raspberries
Whole Milk
pasteurized egg whites
greek yogurt
frozen pineapple

sub out fruits you don’t like for fruits you do. if milk and yogurt aren’t your thing, use protein powder + water. Mix and match until you get the macro nutrient profile you want

4

frozen blueberries
milled roasted flax seed
apple
brocoli
celery
scoop of vanilla protein

5

OJ
Metabolic Drive vanilla (although chocolate works, too)
frozen strawberries
frozen blueberries
Biotest Superfood
fiber
crushed ice

It’s not super-high calories, but it works great for me. It’s a nice pick-me-up and I eat again an hour or two later.

Those all sound pretty good! I’m going to give’em all a shot! Thanks!

This morning I had:

2 scoops whey
2 cups Spinach
2 tablespoons of Olive Oil
cinnamon
5g creatine
splenda
3 ice cubes

It’s actually a lot better than it sounds. Adding some almond or peanut butter really helps the flavor, too.

I wont take credit, but have been drinking this pretty regularly since i read this. For variety, i will alternate the apples with blueberries and the cottage cheese with plain lowfat yogurt.

In Case the Link wont work

Today’s tip comes from Chad Waterbury:

The Super Protein Shake

I put an apple and a handful of raw broccoli in my protein shakes every morning. Yep, you read that right. The sweetness of the apple offsets the “unsweetness” of the broccoli. With the following combination, you won’t even know the broccoli’s in there, but your health and body fat levels will thank you. Mix in 16-20 ounces of water in a blender:

2 Scoops of Metabolic Drive

1/4 cup of low-fat cottage cheese

1/2 cup of oatmeal

1 banana

1 apple

1 cup of raw broccoli tops

Blend until it’s as smooth and drink up!

2 scoops ON chocolate whey
1 cup whole milk(I use goat’s milk, tangy and less lactose)
1/2cp greek yogurt
1 cup frozen blueberries
2 heaping tbs flax meal
1 serving Superfood

I drink one of these pretty much every day as my mid morning meal
