Default Ideas wanted for meal replacement smoothies

I'm trying to create a meal replacement smoothie that is quick and
easy for anyone at home to do.
Here is what I have been trying:

Meal Replacement Smoothie

Here is one that I've been experimenting with lately to make one that
is more filling and healthy.

Add to your blender
1/2 cup pineapple juice
1/2 cup vanilla yogurt
1/2 cup applesauce

Blend these together then add the following dry ingredients after
processed.

1 tbsp flaxseed
2 tbsp sunflower seeds
4 tbsp quick oats
1/4 cup nutty granola
Process these in a coffee grinder or processor into a flour type
powder.
After those are blended in add 1/2 cup crushed ice and finish blending
and enjoy.

This tasted great but I was hungry again after 2 hours.
Any ideas on what else to add to make it more filling and still
healthy?

Yah. For one thing, it drastically lacks protein!

Add a couple of scoops of a good quality Whey protein powder.

Or 3 raw eggs, your choice.

Skip some of that grain. Leave out the granola and oats.

My recipe based on your recipe:

1/2 cup of cold pineapple juice (or apple juice)
1/2 cup of cold vanilla yogurt (or plain natural lowfat yogurt)
replace applesauce with 1/2 banana (for carbs) note: freezing a
skinned banana will make the drink even colder so you don't need ice
cubes and will help the smoothie thicken.

1 tablespoon of flaxseed oil
two tablespoons of oat bran (for fibre)
Two or three raw eggs (for protein)
and/or protein powder for added protein

some natural vanilla flavouring (if you want vanilla)
add some honey if you want it sweeter

Meal replacement?
More filling?
Healthy?


There's a contradiction in terms going on.


What's healthy for one person might not be for the next. What's healthy
at one moment might not be the next moment. For the most obvious
example, one person might need to be on a limited calorie diet to lose
weight. Another might need to get as many calories as possible to gain
weight, to counteract nausea from pregnancy or chemotherapy, to
counteract a medical problem with absorbing nutrients.


Two things will make a meal filling: fiber and calories. If the meal
is filling because of fiber, we'll likely feel hungry shortly
afterwards. If the meal isn't filling because it lacks sufficient
calories, the calories have to come from protien, carbohydrate or fats.
Of these, calories from fat are the most concentrated. If you're
trying to fit the whole meal into one smoothie and make it filling, fats
are the way to go. But a great many people in the U.S. are trying to
get diets which are low in fats and get more of their calories from
protien and complex carbohydrate.


If you just want to make the smoothie more filling, I'd say add cream.
If you want to make it more healthy, I'd say put a nice portion of
broiled fish, brown rice, baked butternut squash, carrots and steamed
broccoli in a blender.

Does the OP have a wired jaw and is therefore required to drink his
Calories? Or is he just too lazy to cook? Liquid will empty from the
stomach faster than solid food (especially solid food containing fiber).
It's no surprise he was hungry 2 hours later.

My coworker was enamored of Muscle Milk drinks. She'd have at least one
a day as a snack until I pointed out to her that one serving had 350
Calories, over half of it from fat. That's approximately the caloric
density of Ensure Plus, which is used to put weight on cancer patients.
She hasn't had one since.

Protein. Protein is food. Your body wants protein. Without
it you get hungre sooner.

You can get bulk whey online. Maybe bulk casein and bulk
soy protein as well.

The OP was selling something. I wasn't curious what.

Well, for one thing that seems to make a rather small smoothie. When I used
to make them, I generally used frozen berries, yogurt, milk a banana, and a
bit of honey. If you use frozen fruit, you won't have to water it down with
ice.

A protein source is often added to smoothies. You could use whey powder or
hemp or chia seeds. I am really in favor of the chia seeds. To get the
most benefit out of them, you need to soak them in water overnight so they
form a gel. This is what I eat for breakfast most of the time. Just the
gelled chia seeds. Very filling.

I occasionally make protein shakes at work when I'm too busy to make or
eat a meal. It's pure Protein (I use Isopure brane whey), contains 50
grams of protein and is 210 calories.

Rather than slugging it down all in one meal, I sip it slowly over about
4 hours.

It keeps me quite satisfied.

My favorite flavor is their Orange/Pineapple. I mix it with water in a
32 oz. shaker.

Pro Performance Mega Whey at GNC tastes pretty good. Om, you and I

Personally I like Horlicks.

Do what you like but until you add the pineapple, coconut cream, and
rum it ain't there yet.

:-)

I'll have to look at that one.
I'm nearly out of my can of Isopure carb free whey.
It comes in a very tasty Orange/Pineapple flavor.

I also shop at GNC...
