Breakfast is the hardest meal of the day to get the nutrition that you need, without getting a lot of garbage that you don't need. To start your day off right, you need food that will give you the energy you need to get through the morning, and keep you from getting hungry. This protein shake is the perfect breakfast, it gives you a good balance of carbohydrates, protein, fat, and fiber to get you going in the morning and keep you going.

The food you eat from when you get up in the morning, until you eat lunch is very important in determining how your day will go. Eating breakfast is critical if weight loss is important to you. Because you haven't eaten for 6 to 10 hours since your last food the day before, your body is low on energy and low on protein, you need a good balance of nutrients to wake you up, keep you alert and keep your body functioning properly.


What You Need For The Protein Shake

* 12 oz. Skim milk
* 1 frozen banana
* 1/3 cup of old fashioned oats
* 5 frozen strawberries
* 1 scoop of Whey protein powder

You can also add other things to this if you want. It is a good way to take Creatine, green food, super food, spinach, or anything else that would go in without ruining the taste. To prepare the bananas, let them ripen to where you feel is the perfect ripeness, then peel them, break them in half and put them in a 1 gallon zip lock bag and keep them in the freezer.

Use the oat right out of the carton, raw. Use your choice of protein powder, any flavor will work, I use vanilla. Put all ingredients in a blender mixer, put the protein powder and oats in the blender mixer first, then put the strawberries and the banana's in. Putting the ingredients in that order, will allow the banana's to not stop the blender when you start it. Blend for about 1 minute. Makes about 24 ounce shake. The frozen banana and the frozen strawberries will make the shake like a smoothie. I have some 32 ounce rubber maid plastic bottles that I use to drink it from. That way I can take it and drink it on the way to work.

What you get from the shake

* Calories 462
* Protein 45.4 grams
* Carbs 62.5 grams
* fat 5.5 grams
* fiber 5.5 grams

For your morning snack, between breakfast and lunch, eat a hard boiled egg, or a piece of jerky, or a piece of low fat cheese, or a protein bar. Something high protein, low fat, and low carbs. It will fill you up more, give you some energy, and keep you full until lunch. If you have to eat carbs, eat a piece of fruit. Do not eat any bakery goods, or chips, or candy bars.

This protein shake gives you a good balance of nutrients and a good amount of calories. The carbs are not simple carbs that your body will turn to fat. They will give you energy to help you start your day off right, and have a great day.
