    Dragon fruit smoothie will help you keep full for a longer period. It is high on fiber and low in calories.

    Certain foods will not help you lose weight. However some people, myself included, find shakes/smoothies as a way to get in essential macro/micronutrients.

    Shakes don't really do that good a job to satisfy - no chewing, less nutritious than real food. Instead, why don't you try to emulate some of the habits and environment that keeps you on track while on vacation?

    Jeepers! you seem to have the complete opposite problem to me - holidays and weekends are my worst because I'm out of my work time routine.
    Why not try preparing your food for the week and falling into an eating routine rather that relying on shakes? My old dietician once asked me why I would want to drink the calories in a shake rather than eat the calories in actual food - which fills you up more for way less calories.

    Would you consider a protein bar or a protein shakes?
    For me, they keep me fuller than those meal replacement shakes. And often they have half the calories.
    Or you could have high protein foods with veggies on the side.
