Me personally, nothing. I'm not a fan. However, what would I do for bacon and eggs? Just about anything right now! Oh the morning shakes! My oh my. I truly do enjoy the green shakes I've been making every morning. They leave me feeling satisfied, full and healthy - and they keep my blood sugar stable all morning. And often when noon rolls around, I'm not really hungry - unless I'm stressed, but that's a different kind of eating altogether.
This past week, though, I think I've experimented a little too much with the shake recipe. Actually, I don't have a recipe - I tend to open the fridge and throw whatever I can find into my nice new blender, though I most always include a frozen banana (no rhyme or reason to that one). This morning, I started with carrots, fresh from the farm, and then added a gala apple, a little ginger, a little kale, a non-frozen banana (why??), a serving of tofu, some flax seed and flax oil. Yes, it tasted just as you're imagining it would taste - nasty! :-( It gives me the heebie-jeebies just thinking about it!
But I drank it, at least most of it, because there were 4 servings of fruits and vegetables in that one way-too-big container of way-too-much morning shake. The rest awaits me in the fridge. (heebie-jeebies) I've got to start using the recipes in that green smoothies book I bought!
Bacon and eggs, french toast, pancakes with maple syrup...I miss you! This weekend we must be reunited, if only for a day....and not in a shake.

I'm with you on the bacon and eggs, french toast and pancakes, even though I do occasionally long for a good smoothie! Good for you in trying to get those fruits and veggies in!
