Okay, I was resistent to this idea until I tried it. It took a few variations to find my favourite, but here goes -- a smoothie. I generally use 8 oz milk, ice (depends on how thick you want it - I use 4-5 cubes depending on my mood), 1-2 tbsp peanut butter, a banana, ground flax seed and vanilla whey protein powder (I really love Designer Protein brand - both vanilla and chocolate are tasty, not chalky or nasty - dunno about the other flavours). Sometimes I add a splosh of honey, sometimes not. Sometimes I add a splash of vanilla.
This was my standard breakfast until we moved and now we can't find the blender. I also like to use the same general base (milk, ice, protein powder, flax) with frozen [omitting the ice], canned [in fruit juice] or fresh peaches and yogurt.
The mix generally comes out milkshake consistency and it just hits the spot for me. It is filling, satisfying and has a good deal of protein.
