Does anyone have any good breakfast smoothie recipes as I hate eating breakfast? Preferably containing oats or some other kind of carbohydrate. Also please can u tell me how long it takes to make?

    I use a good handful of chopped kale, two inch piece cucumber, good size stick of celery ( or two if small) frozen banana that is in chunks, about 250 mls hazelnut milk dash ginger & cinnamon and blend till smooth. I usually add a table spoon of udo oil too. This all gives loads of energy and has reduced my cholesterol too!

    Kashi go lean cereal, almond milk, chocolate protein, peanut butter, blueberries, and some ice. Very very good.

    1 frozen banana i chuncks, 1,5 cup of skim milk, 1/2 tbs of unsweetened cocoa powder. Blend for 1 minute - DONE!
    I have this almost everyday and it always keeps me full until lunch.

    Spinach leaves, banana, pear, blueberries, walnuts, some oat or protein nutrient powder, semi-skimmed milk. It's quick & delicious.

    I'm not good with breakfast (solid food wise).

    Some morning I have, and log, a bucket full of coffee.

    If I can't even stomache that I save the calories to eat a bigger lunch / dinner. I like big meals. It works for me.

    I do a few similar one. I add in some baby spinach (changes the colour but not the taste), use dark chocolate protein powder instead of the cocoa and add in a few tbs of rolled oats and a sprinkle of chia seeds. Protein, carbs, fats, fibre - done!

    My smoothies are very similar! I often use just water as my base and add 1/3 cup of oats (along with fresh ginger and fresh turmeric). Fruits varies, berries are good, avocados are yummy and creamy, soaked flax and chia seeds add some good Omega 3s.

    I alter the one I mentioned above for my DH. I use whole milk, extra protein powder, extra chia seeds, extra oats, some nut butter. Plus the banana, baby spinach etc. Takes it up to 400+ calories easily.

    Large handful of Kale and spinach; about 1/4-1/2 cup chopped celery, cucumbers, carrots, and Apple; 1/4 cup blueberries; 4-5 strawberries; 1 banana; 2 TBSP chia/flax seed mix; 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (sometimes I add broccoli, beets or pumpkin depending on what I have on hand) I usually freeze all the ingredients except the milk and then let it thaw just slightly in the morning before blending it in the nutribullet

    I make baggies with my smoothie ingredients and then just let it thaw a few minutes.
    1/2 banana, 1 cup blueberries, 2 cups spinach, 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk, 1/2 c. Unsweetened vanilla coconut milk, 1c. Water, 1 tbsp chia seeds, 1 pea protein powder

    Delicious and filling! Takes less than 5 minutes including washing the blender when I have my smoothie freezer packs!

    I use a smoothie blender and just dump the following in:

    Milk, greek yogurt, half a banana (for some carbs, natural sweetness and creaminess), some oats, protein powder, frozen berries and a lot of ice.

    Such a good milkshake! Blending takes like 1 minute with easy clean-up after.

    My go to favourite at the moment is 3 cubes of frozen spinach, frozen berries, half an avacado, 2 tsp wheatgrass powder, 1tsp honey and coconut water. Keeps me full for ages! Although its quite high in fat on the MFP diary.

    This sounds great! I'm going to try it tomorrow. I've been looking for new recipes, because making the same every day is getting boring- although they are super tasty! I have two recipes I use, both are around 300 calories and usually keep me full till lunch, though I don't like how much (natural) sugar is in the berry greens smoothie.

    Avocado chocolate:
    1/2 avocado
    large handful of kale or spinach
    1.5-2 tbsp raw chocolate powder
    2 frozen apricots
    1 tbsp stevia
    100 grams plain yogurt
    2 tbsp oats
    water

    Berry greens:
    large handful of spinach or kale
    1/3 cup frozen cherries (or blueberries)
    1/2 chopped frozen apple
    1/3 chopped frozen banana
    100 grams plain yogurt
    3tbsp. oats
    water

    Mine is similar: 1 frozen banana, oats, greek yogurt, skim milk until I get the desired texture, chia seeds, 1-2 tsp peanut butter and some cinnamon.
