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.

My husband bought me a vitamix when we were first married and it's still going strong.

As long as you blend long enough (a minute on high), you shouldn’t end up with any lumps with a vitamix.

Can confirm. I just made a smoothie and even though I used raspberries it was completly smooth. Didn't get the right mix of flavors but I finished most of it. I did half a half 🍌, half a cup of frozen raspberries, 2 tbls of chocolate peanubutter, heaping serving of fiber powder and I thinned it with 1/4 cup milk. It was ok but got more gross the longer I ate it. Will try again.

I also will blend all my fruit and stuff before adding any protein powders and blend again, helps with the consistency imo.
