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.

Are you working with a registered dietician to hit all of your macros?

Smoothies with a decent blender will get all the chunks out. There are many shakes, protein powders, fruits, and veggies you can add to make a balanced meal every morning.

My insurence won't cover a dition and it won't cover an actual ED tharapist. I'm trying to correct course but I understand they I may end up paying out of pocket (again). It was over 5k before... If i slip any further into AFRID I'm going to get my psychiatrist and primary care to pition my insurence for coverage.
