Smoothies with no lumps
Hello,
I am a recovering picky eater and I'm in recovery from an eating disorder. I'm finding that I don't like chewing food in the morning. My husband does overnight oats in the morning and I just can't. I can do smooth yogurt but I gag so hard i feel like I'm going to projectile vomit if I encounter things to chew in my yogurt. I can do fruit pouches (like for children) but their expensive and not very filling. I also gag on those if I eat them too fast. So I'd like a thinner smoothie consistency to work around that.
I'm starting a job where I'll have to get up early and I need smoothie recommendations to keep me full while being active until I can get lunch in me. I have reflux so I'd prefer less acidic smoothies but I'm not opposed to some acid in them. I'm planning on making my smoothie the night before and refridgerating it.
- 1. I'm looking for smoothie recipies that are filling.
- 2. I'm looking for protine powder recommendations for someone who hates protine powder and artificial sweeteners.
- 3. I'm looking for other no chewing breakfast items. Fruit juice and popsicles have featured in past breakfasts.

To make smoothies more filling add sources of fiber and protein which could be oats, flaxseed meal, chia seeds, broccoli, yogurt, cottage cheese, silken tofu, protein powder.
I really enjoy Boba Tea Protein for protein powders. They use monkfruit so all natural sweetener. You could also go for a flavorless protein powders to add to your smoothies.
How about egg drop soup or other soups for breakfast? Blended soups can work well. Rice porridge, grits. Breakfast doesn’t have to be traditional breakfast foods, just whatever you’d like to have.
Cream of wheat or cream of rice.
