  Anyone regularly make shakes/smoothies for breakfast? I found a recipe this week that the surfer Laird Hamilton drinks daily. It looked interesting, all the ingredient info seemed really positive. Bought stuff last night minus one ingredient and made one this morning.

  Holy hell... I feel like I'm a million % more energized than any other morning, and I've not had any coffee today either. The one ingredient I left out was something for brain/memory performance because my health food store didn't carry it. If you into drinking things like this and don't mind spending a little $ for ingredients, I highly suggest this:

  http://www.menshealth.com/nutrit…

  1 tablespoon Catie's Organic Greens (www.energyessentials.com)

  1 tablespoon Catie's Vitamin C Plus (www.energyessentials.com)

  1 scoop Neuro 1 (www.nutrition53.com)

  2 scoops Muscle Milk protein powder (www.cytosport.com)

  1 tablespoon Udo's Oil 3-6-9 Blend (www.udoerasmus.com)

  1-2 frozen bananas

  1 cup frozen berries (any kind; I like blueberries, boysenberries, strawberries, raspberries, or blackberries)

  ½ cup organic apple or cherry juice or hemp milk

  ½ cup filtered water

  Put all of the ingredients in a blender and mix at ice-crushing speed for 30 seconds. For a lighter version, eliminate the juice (or hemp milk) and substitute an additional ½ cup water, reduce the protein powder to 1 scoop, and use just 1 teaspoon oil and half of a frozen banana.

  Did you have a good bowel movement this morning also?

  • Usually comes around 10:30 CST depending on if I have coffee or not.– mg33

  this is really close to what i drink in the morning. except i don't add the 1/2 cup juice. it's all water and i add 1/2 cup oatmeal for a nice carb. also, i've never been too fond of the muscle milk protein, it's kind of high in fat. i opt for optimum nutrition's whey isolate blend instead. chocolate. holy hell it's good.

  • There's a different protein I use, I'll have to find the brand/type. It's a mix of whey and another kind I think.– mg33

  2 scoops Muscle Milk protein powder (www.cytosport.com)

  How different are these than those GNC protein powder?

  I'm in a mission to gain 10-20 lbs of muscle, im quite slim and i'm using protein powder to boost my muscle gain [just temporarily] and expand my appetite.

  • yet again, i want to gain weight properly and healthy– k_temp

  nice! i hear you can replace that muscle milk powder for 100% whey protein which might save you on some unneeded carbs.

  I bought a Ninja Blender (1/4 of the price of the Vitamix)
  

  

  
  and have been having a fruit smoothie every morning for a few months.
  Just frozen fruit, yogurt, ice and a Odwalla or OJ, this week I've been adding an EmerganC packet and it makes it taste just like a JambaJuice.

  • whats the codename for this? Bone-crusher?– k_temp1/4

    i want one so baddddddd– hektor9112/4

    Only $99 bucks– fooler3/4

    NOTHING beats the Vitamix.

  I used to drink this quite a bit as well. Very good and a bit cheaper than the one I posted above.

  http://www.menshealth.com/nutrit…

  1 CUP GREEN TEA This no-calorie beverage has been shown to boost metabolism.

  1 SCOOP CASEIN PROTEIN Because casein is a type of milk protein that's slow-digesting, it'll provide a steady supply of protein to your muscles for hours. We like Low-Carb Grow MRP ($23 for 2 lb; t-nation.com).

  1 TBSP GROUND FLAXSEED Flaxseed is a healthy fat that's been shown to lower LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood pressure in lab animals. Buy it preground at a health-food store.

  1/2 CUP FROZEN RASPBERRIES, BLACKBERRIES, OR STRAWBERRIES Packed with disease-fighting anti-oxidants, these fiber-filled fruits are three of the best foods known to man.

  1 TBSP MIXED NUTS Research shows that adding one or two handfuls of nuts to your daily diet reduces your risk of heart disease without leading to weight gain.

  1 TBSP GREENS+ The nutrient equivalent of six servings of fruits and vegetables a day, it's the best-kept secret in supplements ($19 for 4.7 oz; greensplus.com).

  I'm pretty simple:

  1/2 cup oats
  1/2 cup ice
  1 cup milk
  1 banana (or berries)
  1 scoop protein powder of choice

  • this is pretty close to the recipe for Big Brother Slop, but no berries or banana,...– vaxorcist

  Instead of downing an entire breakfast as a smoothie,
  I'd rather take the ingredients and snack on them all morning long.
  Should give your body the necessary time to be able to absorb the nutrients better anyway.

  Yeah you gotta! Makes it thick and creamy - just blend it up for an extra 30sec than usual. Powers me through the morning like a 'real' breakfast.

  Whole oats are a pretty healthy carb too.
