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

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.

If I add protein powder or yogurt yes.

Sometime I do a smoothie and 2 hard boiled eggs.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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