Hi everyone,

I am reading the books (oops, downloaded the diet one and the total recovery but not the pnp one...).
have been following this forum for a few days

And planning my breakfast options for stage 1.

I'd love some help with this stage:

According to my calculations, I need to to have 34 grams of protein at breakfast.

Since I am vegan, I found a rice based protein powder. I plan to use it in a shake.

For the last few months I have been drinking a green smoothie for breakfast. (water/almond milk+some greens+some fruit+ground flax seeds). I plan to basically experiment with the shake so that it has enough protein and complex carbs in it.

Questions:
1. In 2 table spoons of this powder there is 10.5 grams of protein. -does this mean I need to add about 6 T to my shake? will it be edible?
2. Carbs: I think I will try adding the oats to the shake - do I add them "dry" or cooked to it? I use natural whole oats. I can grind them to make them finer.
3. Another options is cooked oats with almond milk. Should I add some protein powder to it so that there is enough protein?

note: I am not a strict vegan. I do eat organic eggs about 3 times a week. I eat spelt bread. I eat very little goat's cheese/yogurt.

Will appreciate some guidance and creative ideas. My main concern right now is finding something that works for me and contains enough protein and complex carb.

I'm excited about this new path. It sounds right for me. During the "green shake" period, one of my main problems was that I felt hungry after about 90 mins.

Thanks!

Nina
