I am wanting to try a new approach to breakfast, since I usually eat cereal or oatmeal for breakfast (hardly any protein). I thought about making fruit smoothies with fat free yogurt and a little honey (I think you add milk, too). My only question: Is that enough protein? Should I add protein powder, or just leave it alone with the milk and yogurt?

I'll be interested in the responses on the smoothies - I haven't ventured there yet. But, on the days I have oatmeal, I also have 1 or 2 light breakfast sausages to make sure that I have protein to balance the carbs. Some days I wake up with a craving for oatmeal. I just make sure that I measure it carefully so I don't overdo it.

We have a few healthy smooothie recipes here in the forum, but yes you'll want to ideally add a scoop of protein to it.

Morning breakfast shake for me:
5 cups water
1 cup ice
50g whey protein/25g casein protein both vanilla
10g fiber
1 cup oatmeal
1 ts almond butter

I eat this every morning.
