A simple meal replacement made from ingredients found at the local grocery story (a Trader Joe's, in this case)
This is not 100% complete nutritionally as the intention is more of a single meal replacement; ingredient amounts listed are for a whole day, 3 meals - but amounts were chosen to make it easy to make in 1/3 batches. The addition of a multivitamin (and a pinch of salt) would go a long way toward closing the gaps.
For breakfast, I find this perfectly fine. The flavor is mostly oats, so if you're not a fan of oatmeal ymmv. I use a blender, mix in 1/3 batches at a time, and add enough water (or cold-press coffee) to make liter-sized smoothies.
