    In general, you should organize your life so you can sit down and enjoy all your food. Eating on the run is generally a poor idea.

    I'm just starting to use myfitnesspal and was looking for recipes when I found this post. Please let me know if I'm out of line posting this here, but I use and sell a protein shake I love! It's an all-organic protein drink that includes probiotics, active enzymes, fiber and a ton of nutrients. No artificial colors, flavors or sweeteners. It's my go-to food when by body feels out of balance, nutritionally. They're great for rushed mornings - dump a packet into a blender bottle with water and ice.

    I have several recipes I use for breakfast smoothies and will be glad to share and swap recipes. I don't have time to sit down for breakfast either. As a bonus, they are like a treat every morning! :)

    Sometimes I drink the protein smoothies from Sam's Club. They are packed with protein and super filling. Only 2 carbs, if I remember correctly. Just buy, put in refrigerator, grab a cold one on way out door in morning.

    I do something very similiar....This is mine:
    1 scoop protein powder (comes out to appx 40g)
    1 1/2 teaspoon instant coffee
    1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa
    1/2 large banana
    1 cup vanilla unsweetened almond milk

    I drink this over ice, as I prefer not very thick drinks :) This is appx 270 calories

    Not everyone has time to sit and enjoy every meal

    While that is a great sentiment, many of us do not prefer to do this as we have a distance to travel to work and enjoy having our breakfast while we travel. It isn't "eating on the run" or crammed in, it is consumed over a period of time. I ALWAYS drink my coffee and drink a protein shake on my 40 min drive to work:) I then follow-up with the rest of my breakfast when I get to work.

    I blend 1/4 cup milk, 3/4 cup plain fat free greek yogurt, 1/4 cup old fashioned oats, 1 teaspoon avacado oil, 1/2 frozen banana, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1 packet truvia, and a handful of ice. Sometimes I sub a cup of frozen Strawberries or do a half a cup with the banana. It makes a big glass and is super yummy and satisfying!

    My favorite recipe with gobs of various nutrients and its very energizing:

    Frozen mango
    2 handfuls baby spinach
    Vanilla protein powder; no artificial sweeteners please
    Dollop of plain yogurt or kefir
    Cinnamon
    A few walnuts or pecans
    A tablespoon or two of oat bran
    A tablespoon or two of ground chia or flax seed
    Splash of orange juice
    maybe a little water to loosen

    I absolutely love this smoothie. I copied it from a health food store here that sells it for $7 a pop.

    Sometimes I may not have all of the ingredients, but the basics are the the first 5 ingredients.

    Best to you ---

    1/2 serving of peanut butter
    1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa

    You can add the protein powder scoop to this too
