Does anyone have smoothies for lunch?
Do you find them satisfying? |

| No and no. I eat a meal. |

| Yuck and no. Not a fan. |

I like shakeology and use it as a 'snack" between breakfast and lunch. I find it helps with the cravings. |

| I love smoothies, but no I can't use them to replace a meal. I'm hungry an hour later, even when it's full of protein and fat. |

| Smoothies are full of sugar. I can't use them as a meal substitute and would rather eat whole foods. |

| I do maybe once a week during the workday. They’re full of green vegetables and are satiating enough for me. |

| I like a smoothie with a fried egg on toast. That’s my favorite healthy meal. I don’t put a lot besides fruit and veggies in my smoothies though. |

Huh? You can whole food smoothies with fruit, veggies, protein source and nut milk. No healthy person thinks Jamba Juice is a meal. |

| Sometimes, yes, since I WFH most days. My go to includes frozen fruit, kale, Greek yogurt drink (the brand is Pillars), vanilla soy protein powder, and water. |

If I add protein powder or yogurt yes.
Sometime I do a smoothie and 2 hard boiled eggs. |

| No. I like to chew things and I don't enjoy cleaning the blender. |

The blender thing used to be my hang up and then I realized that if I do it right after making the smoothie, it takes like 90 seconds because everything rinses right off and just needs a little swipe with soap and a brush. I agree with you on the solid food thing though. We make smoothies a lot but I always pair them with food I chew. I don’t like drinking meals. |

Water and dish soap squirt and blend. Cleaned. |

| No. Even when I need them up with protein and fiber I find I’m hungry too soon afterwards. |
