Does anyone have any ideas how I can start my day off with a big breakfast shake I find eating hard so hoping to get a lot of calories out the way to start my day.

Pancakes my favorite way to pack in extra calories in the am.
4 eggs
2 scoops protein powder
1/2 cup oats
1/4 cup cottage cheese or yogurt
1 banana
Throw it all in a blender and fry them up on low heat with coconut oil. With syrup you'll easily hit over 1000 calories on that.

I make smoothies with bananas, blueberries, spinach, whey protein, almond butter, 4% Greek yogurt and whole milk. You can play around with the ratios to increase the cals and macros to suit your needs1

I don't like early morning eating so start the day with a blended smoothie of frozen fruits, whole milk, protein powder, creatine usually about 500-600 easily drinkable calories. As the day goes on I get my calories from solid food. I vary the fruit and add additional things like honey or cinnamon etc to vary the taste. If I want a lot of calories I'd stick in some peanut butter0

Here's a great breakfast shake recipe, courtesy of Alan Aragon:
14 oz room-temperature or cold coffee (make this the night before)
1 frozen banana
1.5-2 cups ice
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
2 scoops chocolate protein powder
1 oz. walnuts
How to make it:
Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until you hit your desired consistency. If you want a thicker shake, use 2 cups of ice.

[ETA:] Add two tablespoons of peanut butter for about 190 more calories if you really want/need them. The walnuts are pretty calorie dense too, so you could double up on them and boost the calorie count also.0 -

Question for you... in the second one, can you taste the kale and does your blender blend the stems too? I think I tried to use kale once (vs. spinach) and it left all these stemmy clumpy pieces behind, uch!0 -
I don't have a ton of time in the morning so I just do a mass gainer shake and bring fruits and veggies to work with me. The mass gainer I like the best is the ON Pro Gainer, has the best macros in my opinion.0

Next time you can pinch the stems off before blending0
