Left Hungry from my Smoothie :(

I agree with everyone suggesting protein powder, its very satiating.

Or if you don't feel weird about it, crack an egg into your smoothie, I know north American culture doesn't eat raw eggs but we always did lol

I do this in my protein shakes daily... Tastes delicious!

This morning I thought I had a really good idea for a breakfast smoothie. However, despite the fact it had an entire frozen banana in it and 6 ounces of Greek Yogurt, I was still hungry. Here's what I put in: 7 frozen strawberries, 2 handfuls of frozen blueberries, the frozen banana, and a individual container of Greek yogurt, 2 kiwis, and an orange. Since it was very thick, I also added a bit of Diet Serra Mist to thin it enough so I could sip it through a straw. It tasted great, but the 462 calories I estimated it to be were not filling for me. Any ideas on how I can make this smoothie satisfy me till lunch? Also, the 462 calories is pushing it. I'd like to keep breakfast under 400 if possible.

That's a carb bomb. Very little protein for the calorie cost. Here, try these:

Toasted muesli in banana smoothies is amazing and makes them way. way more filling.

Strawberries and blueberries do not raise your blood sugar the way sweeter/higher carb foods do. My suggestion is to add protein powder and peanut butter. Soy milk is also good protein. Skip the Sierra MIst--that is just crap. In fact you should never drink soda--diet or otherwise. Even diet soda makes you fat. If you need to make your smoothie thinner, add water. You will never know the difference.

My morning smoothie is:

2 cups Silk Regular Soy Milk
1 cup frozen strawberries
1 cup frozen blueberries (the berries are eyeballed, and the ratio can change)
1 banana
1 TBSP natural peanut butter
2 scoops Nature's Life Soy Protein - Super-Green Pro-96

BLEND!

This smoothie keeps me full from 8 am to 3 pm (ish). On low calorie burn days, I will often have an energy or meal replacement bar (250-400 cal) for lunch.

2 c spinach
1 scoop protein powder
1/2 cup 1% milk
1 TBS peanut butter

I have this almost every morning. It keeps me full until lunchtime. I'll keep drinking my food, thanks.

Agree with brower47 re:fiber. I stopped using bananas in my smoothies since the sugar, carbs and calories were torpedoing my Food Diary. AND my smoothies just made me hungrier.
Then I started using about 1/3 of an avocado instead of the banana. I scoop out all the avocado into a bowl, take 1/3 of it and add it to my smoothie. To the remaining avocado , I add about 1 Tbsp of Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar (to prevent browning) and do a rough mash. The mashed mixture then gets put into a ice cube tray (makes about 6 cubes) and popped into the freezer. When the cubes are completely frozen, I remove them from the tray and place in a ziplock bag that lives in the freezer. When I don't have a ripe avocado, I add 2-4 frozen 'cado cubes to my smoothie
The avocado makes it creamy but adds lots of fiber and it keeps me full for a long while. I won't lie-the taste takes some getting used to. Raw cacao powder makes it work for me. Even if I go back to adding banana, though, I'll continue to add avocado.
You could try 1/2 banana and 1/4 avocado. Unless you train your palate to enjoy less sugar you'll be tempted to add something to sweeten it. Try to taste the flavors and resist adding lots of sweet stuff. Before long, your taste buds will need less sugar than you thought possible.
