    almond milk, 8 oz.
    blueberries, banana, strawberries, pineapple, 1 oz of each, frozen
    1 scoop of whey protein.

    All blended in my Ninja!
    Gets me through to lunch each day.

    A scoop of almond butter on top of a square of dark Ghiradelli is also great.
    I stay away from grains... they put me into nap mode.
