I've got breakfast down pat. Most days this is what I have. It holds me over and is packed with protein, nutrients and fiber.
All measurements are approximate. I eyeball everything.
Berry Protein Smoothie
1 small scoop (1/2 cup) fat-free frozen vanilla yogurt
1 cup frozen mixed berries
1 cup orange juice
1-2 tbs unsweetened plain or vanilla soy-based protein shake mix*
1 tbs fiber Benefiber
Mix all together in a blender for about 30-60 seconds. This yields about one 16oz cup and has about 300 calories. Make sure to use fat-free and unsweetened, otherwise you will pack on a lot of extra calories.
*My favorite is Spiru-tein, unsweetened vanilla. I sometimes also use Genisoy Ultra, unflavored, but it's a little chalky.
