ngrod8511 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Help!!!! I need ideas for a fast breakfast! Can some of you guys share your recipe for a smoothie? I usually am on the go in the mornings with dropping off my kids to school and off to work...talk about beating the traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators ladyshanny Posted September 23, 2015 Administrators Share Posted September 23, 2015 Hi ngrod, have you read the "Can I Have" article from the Whole30 website? Smoothies: We’d rather you didn’t This is a very popular question, with a very unpopular answer. Smoothies (generally made using lots of fruit) are technically compliant on your Whole30, but we strongly recommend against it. Food that you drink sends different satiety signals to your brain than food that you chew. So when you drink your meal, your brain isn’t getting the feedback it needs to tell your body that it’s had enough of what it needs. Plus, smoothies are generally really fruit-heavy, and starting your day off with a liquid sugar-bomb sets you up for cravings, hunger, and volatile energy levels throughout the day. In summary, we’d rather you just eat the food, and skip the smoothie. - See more at: http://whole30.com/2013/06/the-official-can-i-have-guide-to-the-whole30/#sthash.jwmjh95o.dpuf You can eat anything at breakfast that you would eat any other meal of the day. So leftovers is often a popular choice for people with time constraints. Or, you could consider getting up 15 minutes early and making yourself a quick breakfast scramble/stir fry. Ditch the smoothies for maximum results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whole30ashtangi Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 @ladyshanny what about smoothie bowls? http://www.leefromamerica.com/recipes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcbn Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 ^That looks a bit dessert-ish to me, very fruit & fat heavy & completely lacking protein & veg - so not exactly meeting the recommended meal template...It'd be a no from me I'm afraid.

Administrators ladyshanny Posted September 23, 2015 Administrators Share Posted September 23, 2015 @ladyshanny what about smoothie bowls? http://www.leefromamerica.com/recipes You will not get maximum benefits from this program if these are the meals you are seeking out. The Whole30 is as much about changing your behaviours as it is about the "yes/no" lists of foods. Eating super sweet desserty type things for breakfast (it's attempting to recreate cookie dough, for crying out loud), even if they are made with compliant ingredients, is dressing an old habit in a new outfit.

whole30ashtangi Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Oh I didn't mean the cookie dough one! She has about 100 different types not all are sweet I meant the link to show what a smoothie bowl is. This is my third whole30 I understand how it works. But I'm always looking for new creative things to make in the kitchen (I've never had a smoothie bowl even off the whole30 and I've never been a sweets person since I was a kid).

Kbart64 Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Ngrod... try making just a bit more of your dinners each night and setting that little extra aside for a fast breakfast in the morning you can warm up a left over chicken breast and veggies in as much time as it takes to make a smoothie you will be surprised when you discover that what you think of as just a dinner food is actually a great morning energy boost.that will sustain you for hours! Dont limit yourself to just eggs.. you will get very tired of them very fast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators SugarcubeOD Posted October 14, 2015 Moderators Share Posted October 14, 2015 Dont limit yourself to just eggs.. you will get very tired of them very fast! May... you MAY get tired of them very fast. Some people really love eggs (me for instance) and I eat them for breakfast every morning and sometimes for dinner when I'm feeling lazy.
