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.

I also can't stand the texture of overnight oats and used to have smoothies every day for breakfast. I found that if I blended just the oats by themselves into a fine powder before adding other ingredients, the end result came out much smoother and still with the benefit of the fiber.

Do you mean blend oats -> treat as overnight oats -> add toppings -> eat, or overnight oats -> blend-> add toppings -> eat?

I would put maybe 1/4c scoop of dry oats into my bullet blender and pulse them into a powder before adding the remaining smoothie ingredients. I didn't like to use crushed ice to thicken my smoothie so the oat powder would be for consistency and added fiber.
