When i was training a lot, i started making "whole food" shakes. My favourite was 2 chicken breasts, 2 boiled eggs, a seasoning of oregano and gravy granules (UK) and water. Blended smooth this was just like a cold chicken soup. But i would blend most anything with water if i wasnt in the mood for a meal, but was due one. Chicken/rice shakes were probably the most common, just drink it quick before it thickens!
