Hi
Before I left for Tennessee I was making a smoothie for breakfast every other morning before work. The calories seem good, it's quick and easy! The question is is it okay since there's a lot of protein and I won't be working out until later in the day?
I used:
Skinny Miss Vanilla Protein Powder
1/3 cupMixed Berries
1/3 cup V-8 Blueberry-pomegranate juice
1tsp chia seeds
1 tbls. Ground flax seeds
1/3 cup plain unsweetened yogurt
1/3 unsweetened almond milk

What are your thoughts????

    Why wouldn't it be okay? You need a decent amount of protein throughout the day anyhow, you're just getting it in the morning! It's more important to get protein within an hour *after* working out vs. before, plus some carbs. You're totally fine!

    Yeah nothing wrong with it from what I can see. Protein is good for you, and it pays to have a good amount for breakfast :)

    Dialy amount of protein we have to take is like 45 - 47 grms for breakfast its always a good take a better protein content then carb.

    Protein shakes are awesome and convenient ! I have a hard time getting past the taste but they are safe and ok. Go for it

    There are some good-tasting protein shakes out there. Just have to check out the options and read those labels.

    On the same level, what are some good protein shakes that taste good?

    Visalis sweet cream is a good base, but I added extracts and pudding mix (1/4 to 1 tsp) of various flavors to get a decent taste. To me, that added prep time and defeated the purpose of a quick breakfast option.

    Zeal Vanilla Creme or Chocolate Delight both taste great to me.

    These are the only two I have tried that I would recommend.
