food to put in a blender

[rook48]

i'm in college and get kind of having bread and a protein shake everyday, so i need ideas of food to throw in a blender to eat once and a while that's not going to taste like absolute shit. i live in dorms and eat that food sometimes considering we can get subway and whatever the hell we have for dinner. so what should i throw in there?

Do you have access to a microwave? If so check out Lean Ultras. Like a Hot Pocket but with a lot less fat and carbs. It also has 24 grams of protein per serving with 7 grams of fiber. They cost like $1.25 per serving. Oh and they taste good too.
Hormel's Turkey Chili is pretty good too.

I love making smoothies for breakfast, just toss everything in the blender and voila-

my usual- this is a pretty big shake

(all measurements are approximate)

1 cup of 1% milk
1/2-1 cup of frozen unsweetened berries (blueberries, raspberries, etc.)
1 cup plain yogurt
1 T ground flax
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1/2 cup instant oatmeal

just blend all that together and it tastes great and is very quick and easy

sometimes I make it too thick, so then I just add some more milk while it is blending

and those lean pocket ultras are pretty good too, but I need to eat two of them to count as a meal

tuna shakes, baby!!

wholemeal pasta, tomato soup (low sodium) and tuna. tastes great! Sub brown rice for pasta if you like and of course add water until its a thick soup consistency.

1 1/2 cup skim milk
1 cup oats
1 bannana
1 heaping table spoon natty PB
1 1/2 scoops chocolate protein

This shit rocks! I have it almost every morning for breakfast and sometimes at night. It's like 770 cal and 65 grams protein.

yeah, I make that smoothie sometimes too, have you ever tried peeling the banana and freezing it in advance? makes the shake better

Hahaha, I hate it when it comes out like sludge. Happens to me all the time also bro.

I like mixing about 80grams of oatmeal / 600mls skim milk / 3 eggwhites / scoop of ice cream / 200g tub of yoghurt.

I used to do this religiously everyday. As of late, I just can't be fucked and end up eating toast with a protein shake.

Raw egg whites is a gamble. Salmonella is nothing to be toyed with. I know a man who went to the hospital for 4 days. Even in a mild case theres fever, diarhea, cramps, and muscle aches. Its a place I don't care to visit again.

I can't wait to try the frozen bananna. I always wish the smoothie was colder. I used to do the raw egg thing..until I heard the same thing about salmonilla (sp). Now if i want to add raw eggs I nuke em for 10 secs or so.......supposedly that will kill the bacteria

thanks for the ideas guys. i guess i can get eggs and cook them in the microwave, not the greatest tasting thing, but that's okay. what is wholemeal pasta?

peel 2-3 of them and put them on a plate and freeze them overnight... then after they are frozen you can put them in a ziplock bag, if you put them in the bag and then freeze them, they stick together.

Its Whole Grain Pasta that he's refering to. Just like Whole Grain bread. They just grind up the whole kernel and don't remove anything from it.
