Aussies: Liquid Breakfast

Hello aussies! Let me start by saying: I'm not looking strictly for a quick fix meal replacement. On weights mornings I get home, throw back a protein shake, then I'm full (and busy) until my drive to work. So on the way I drink an Up & Go and eat some Belvita Breakfast Biscuits (which are YUMMY! btw). However the cost of Up & Goes can get exy so I'm just hoping that someone can recommend me a "diet shake" of some kind that's tasty so I can replace the drinks with that (shake it up, throw it in a thermos... )
So yes, nice brands, brands to steer clear of.. how's the Aldi brand?
Thanks!

Create !!!
Weet bix, yoghurt, banana, honey, milk, etc in an blender.
This morning I did it without blender - breakfast in a bowl.
PB on Multi-grain toast is quick and easy while you zip past the kitchen.
Integrate the steps - quite fun really !
Let's hear what you do Nikki

I recommend making your own smoothies and putting it in a thermos.
My favourite is:
1/2 cup skim milk
1/2 banana
1 tsp peanut butter
1/4 cup raw egg whites (optional. not the best way to consume them, I know.)
2 cubes of ice.
I also like:
2 cups of baby spinach
1/2 banana
1 cup skim milk
1/2 banana
1/4 cup raw egg whites
1 cup frozen berries
probably not everyone's cup of tea. it's high in sugar, but it's better than up and go's...0 -
Okay okay, but what if I make "the next excuse" and tell you that time is precious for me in the morn... and a blender is not something I have right now.0

Im not from aus, but close enough nz! lol I also have a up and go every morning on my way and yes they are so expensive! I know they sell them in 1litre containers too and they work out cheaper that way, you just have to poor into your own container, or you could evan thin it out a bit with some trim milk?0

it takes a few seconds to throw everything in a blender, or you could get it ready the night before.
but you don't have a blender so my suggestion was pointless! haha. I don't know where I would be without mine! it's worth investing if you intend to use it, but they are pricey.
as for your first post I honestly don't know what to recommend as I typically steer clear of premade drinks. I do bring milk with me as a snack though.
edit: oh my how could I forget, do you like milo? because milo is full of good stuff. works out cheaper than up and go's and other diet drinks.0 -
There is only one true aussie liquid breakfast .... and it is not healthy to be drinking it at the start of the day ...0

My friend drinks sustigen when she's short of time or before heading out on a run. I personally can't run on an empty stomach so I haven't given it a go, but she swears by it, and then has her slice of toast when she gets time a couple of hours later at work.0 -
Optifast shakes may be an option even though you're not on the program? I was sitting in a diabetes clinic (as a student) and the doctor recommended it to an obese patient as a nutritionally complete program. I can't comment on cost - however, completely agree on the $$$ of Up and Go!0

Hi there - I have been having the Aldi brand shake - have tried the chocolate, vanilla and coffee flavours. I love the coffee one and at less than $2 a pop I swear by them.

"My Whey" Shakes are pretty good with Skim Milk . The Chocolate or Vanilla one in a shaker with some PB2( 1 tablespoon) is to die for!! Choc one taste like PB cups..and vanilla one taste like a snickers! haha And Banana in its own skin. easy and quick grub on the run.0

heehee i would do beer BUT the police don't appreciate people drinking and driving, and schools don't -really- shine on staff who are drunk...0

The aldi "Fit and Active" choc shake is pretty good, and i'm in the US. I have it almost every morning before work.0

See my diary has "2nd breakfast" ? Not just LOTR-inspired mate.
6-packs of yoghurt, Aldi 'wheat biscuits' and some milk sitting at work make you slide into the day better than a nice cuppa sometimes. Try it for a week and tell me I'm wrong. You can focus better on your driving (I'm glad I dont drive up in gold old RBP anymore lol). jk Nikki ! It's probably only a matter of time b4 you figure out where I live exactly haha.0 -
