Hi There,

Every morning I have a breakfast shake which consists of 1 banana, 1/3 cup chocolate Ensure, 1 cup milk and ice blended together. While this keeps me somewhat full I've been doing it for awhile and I anticipate I will get sick of it soon so I wanted to see if I could get some recommendations on shakes that are high in protein and 300 or less calories for about 2 cups (that's what my current mixture makes). I'd also like to stick with bananas somewhere in there. Thanks!

    What is Chocolate Ensure?

    I'd add a scoop or two of whey in there and some cinnamon.

    I also have breakfast shakes - mine consist of frozen fruit, a scoop or greek yogurt, almond milk and a scoop of vanilla flavored protein powder. It is VERY good! (and keeps me full) :smile:
    You could easily make this with a frozen banana too!

    Wow, up until now I thought it was Ensure, which is basically just a drink full of vitamins. However, it's actually Carnation's Instant Breakfast Essentials, Rich Chocolate flavor. It has 2x Vitamin D, 2x Calcium, 21 vitamins and minerals and 13 grams of protein.

    1 scoop protogen cookies n cream protein powder
    1 cup almond milk
    3 tbsp greek yogurt
    half an apple
    cinnamin
    1/4-1/2 cup kale (as much as i can fit into the left over space in my magic bullet ha!)

    u can replace the apple with a banana as thats what i had yesterday.
