Smoothie
While the specific fruits may vary somewhat, I drink a whey protein smoothie 7 days a week. I'm very organized, so I sometimes pack five tupperwares with fruit and then cycle them thru the freezer / fridge during the week.
Fruits (some say watch the fructose intake and keep it under 25g per day Mercola on dangers of fructose) There is a nice table in that article with fructose grams per serving of various fruits.
- Banana
- Berries - Blue, Rasp, Black, Straw
- Kiwi
- Peach
- Plum
- Nectarine
Avocado 1/2 or sometimes whole - - don't worry, you won't get much flavor from it, but you will get a dose of healthy fat and it makes it much smoothierer - as opposed to waterierer - ;-)
Almond butter or 1 - 2 tbsp coconut oil
Whey protein (grass fed... not sure if that really makes a difference given the refined nature of whey, but I like the flavor of this one from Swansons Grass Fed and Hormone Free)
Water (~8 oz) or coconut milk - makes it thicker, useful if you're out of Avocados and need more fat.
Bacon & Eggs
Alternatively, I'll have a plate of BACON and eggs from local farms like Riverview Farms, Granger GA and Gregg's Eggs. Here's Mercola article on why you want to buy eggs from Gregg (or someone like him) Buying Eggs
Actually, this is more like a weekend lunch / brunch meal. (And it is what I'm eating as I write this today).I also add some grass fed New Zealand cheddar and usually an heirloom tomato to balance it out.

Of course, kale, broccoli, and other veggies sometimes make it into the mix. Note how bright yellow the yolks are in this picture. You won't find that in supermarket eggs. Here's a Mercola article on how much more nutritious these eggs are. Best Eggs
