That recipe I posted - I've had it the last four morning and I feel almost superhuman in terms of energy. Makes my hyper as hell. It made my weights workout much better yesterday as well. Not had caffeine the last four mornings like normal and that shake easily gives me more energy than coffee and doesn't feel like it's eating away at my brain.

Eggs, bacon, toast, potatoes, coffee.... throw it all into a blender! Breakfast on the go.

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.

I just started using chia seed in stuff so I might have to try that recipe out

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.

• cup of skim milk
• cup of frozen berries
• tablespoon or so of peanut butter, natural
• teaspoon chia seeds
• one scoop muscle milk powder
• 1/2 cup cooked plain oats (optional, depends how hungry you are)- < usually i'll split this into two shakes, and have the second half in the afternoonifeltdave

I often have the shakes in the morning.

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

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).

carbs = beer
whey = vodka
protein = bacon

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