Hey guys,
Don't post much here but very thankful for the forum and blog, has helped me out a bunch.
I have a question for some of the guys here who know nutrition.
I'm thinkin about cutting out school lunches next month. (I teach at a high school in Korea) I've been eating a lot healthier at home lately, but some of these lunches are just killing me. (Really? Noodles, rice, and a sweet potato? C'mon now)
I'm thinking about making shakes to take to school to replace lunch, but I don't know how to make a nutritionally balanced shake that I can use 5 days a week.
I take whey regularly, so I can use that for protein. I was thinking either peanut butter or coconut oil to provide fat, and a banana for carbs. I don't really know what I should be putting in there to get some vitamins and minerals though. Should I just toss in some veggies?
I don't really care if it doesn't taste good, as long as its healthy. Also, I'd prefer not to break the bank, but I know that I'll probably end up spending more than I do on school lunches to make enough shakes for a month. (Lunches for the 20 school days in a month run me about 60-65 bucks. but I can afford to spend more if need be)
So help me out! Are there any reasons I shouldn't be using any of the ingredients I'm thinking about? What else should I be putting in?
(Keep in mind that I can only find very common stuff in Korea, so that triple mixed pro-casein hydrocordo-gluderides I should be puttin in? Yeah, definitely can't find that shit here.)
Using stuff you'd expect to be commonplace anywhere, (I don't mind buying from websites for supplements if really necessary) how do I put together a healthy shake to replace my school lunches?
