    I should clarify: This makes a full blender; I only drink a single glass at a time...
    A full blender would be a single glass for me :smile: .. how many servings?

    I have a smoothie first thing. Water, almond milk, banana, protein powder, spinach and ice. It's 215 calories and keeps me full for 2-3 hours. Then I make a couple of eggs.

    yep yep!

    typically, breakie for me = toasted english muffin with a serving and halfish of PB, or with cream cheese and jam.

    Yep.... This... Plus that smoothie is 3/4 of my calories and I will be sooooo hungry afterwards..

    It's oatmeal and 1/2 a bagel with fat free cream cheese. This helps get the oatmeal taste out of my mouth... LOL"

    Why have oatmeal you don't like the taste of? Maybe add the jam to it?

    A protein smoothie for breakfast keeps me full till a late lunch.If that gets tiresome,will move on to whatever,but eating the same meal on & on,regardless of how healthy......wouldn't work for me.

    Many of us find when we drink something we don't feel like we ate and it leads to overeating.

    Also, starvation mode is a myth. Studies actually show that after 14 hours in the fasted state your metabolism actually speeds up and doesn't drop below the normal level until 72 hours in the fasted state.

    yep yep!

    If I eat ANY carbs at breakfast (7am), I'm dosing & starving by 10am, so I'm gonna stick to my egg muffins and turkey sausage (179 calories with coffee/creamer). Thanks anyways.

    This is me as well. I have to chew my food to get the satisfaction. Drinking just is not the same for me. 99% of the time, I drink only water. I know everyone is different. I would rather chew the ingredients in your smoothie. :)

    I drink breakfast sometimes. It tastes good and it's quick and easy.

    1 cup Almond Milk
    70g Blueberries or Blackberries
    1/2 Banana
    1/2 scoop of Chocolate Slim Fast
    Cals: 186


    It keeps me satisfied for my hour ride to work, then when I get in I eat a bag of nuts!

    Yowza, 700 calories?? I LOVE smoothies for breakfast, but mine are not that high in calories! And they keep me delightfully satisfied until my 11am snack of veggies and hummus. :) My smoothies consist of:

    1 banana (fresh or frozen, but always 1 full banana)
    1 cup frozen berries (a mixture of strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
    1 cup unsweetened almond milk
    3/4 cup vanilla greek yogurt
    spinach (I don't really measure this out, but it probably comes out to be about 1/2 cup)

    Total calories: 290
    Not sure about the rest of the nutritional info since any day I've logged it, I'm also seeing the rest of the day's nutritional info. I'm also aware that wouldn't hold everyone over for the morning, but it works well for me. The greek yogurt adds enough protein that it keeps me feeling satisfied! It's my favorite thing to eat (drink) on my way to work.

    I love morning smoothies especially for preworkout. Too lazy to chew in the morning :# , but I keep it at one fruit ingredient or else i get bloated.
    My most used:
    greek yogurt
    1tbs peanut butter
    1 banana
    1-2 tbs chia seeds

    I make a small smoothie every morning and it only comes out to 153 calories when you don't add juice or dairy - water only. I use everything..frozen pineapple, apples, spinach, strawberries, raspberries. I have a small bowl of oatmeal or peanut butter sandwich on the side. I have to stick with three 500 calorie meals a day, that works for me - obviously it will not work for everyone.

    I'm a chewer too.

    112 grams yogurt, 100 grams blueberries, 50 grams granola = delicious and filling.

    Some mornings I have a latte and a huge blueberry muffin from the local coffee shop. Also filling but probably because it takes me three hours to eat and drink the whole thing.

    Glad that a liquid breakfast works for you. I typically skip breakfast these days, but if I do eat it, I prefer something solid.

    For breakfast I've been liking oatmeal, protein powder, and 140 grams of whatever frozen fruit I have around. @ 390 calories.
