    I despise eating breakfast, which is probably one of the reasons for my weight issues.

    I tried the Shaklee whey protein meal replacement shakes for 2 weeks. I actually lost 12 pounds in that time and the shakes were great. I mixed it with Silk vanilla or dark chocolate almond milk!

    Also, the shakes are organic, suppressed my hunger and helped to maintain muscle while losing the weight.

    I thought I might lose maybe 2-4 pounds, but I lost 12!!

    I go by a formula and do different variations. One cup or so of liquid (almond or soymilk or OJ- I'm vegan) plus a heaping cup of ice plus a smallish banana plus whatever fruit I have laying around. And I blend it up until it's super frothy, because that is how I like it. If I have a sweet tooth that morning, I put in a little pure maple syrup. And sometimes just a touch of pure vanilla extract.

    I really like doing a whey protein shake with 2% milk, peanut butter, frozen strawberries or frozen banana (peel first then stick in the freezer) and Nesquik sometimes. It fills me up for hours and it's great tasting, and I don't think about snacking through the day!

    So good! If you have a whole foods, try MRM whey powder! There's little single servings of it, just to try it out. Get Chocolate and Vanilla!

    i do a cup of a liquid, my faves are almond milk or one of the oasis juices. i then add one serving (according to the package) of frozen fruit. 1/4-1/2 cup yogurt, depending on how creamy i want it. 1/2 cup frozen spinach (the europe's best chef's nuggets are awesome for this). and a new thing i have been adding is 1 Tbs of a hemp fiber powder, just helps to make the full feeling last longer from the fiber. i will add a dash of cinnamon for a little kick.

    i don't worry about protien powders or anything. i get enough of everything from what i have in there. and don't really need the fiber powder, i just don't always get enough fiber the rest of the day, and it can't hurt to have too much fiber.

    I usually do a scoop of vanilla protein powder, 1/2 cup nonfat milk, 1/2 cup nonfat plain yogurt, and then a cup or so of fruit 9usually frozen mangoes). It's pretty tasty, and around 300 calories.
