Smoothie as an MRP

[danzik17]

How is this smoothie as MRPs go:

1/2cup strawberries: 22 Calories
2.6g carbs
1.7g protein

1 small banana: 92 Calories
21.5g carbs
1.5g protein

4oz lowfat yogurt: 95 Calories
17g carbs
4.5g protein
1g protein

3/8 cup skim milk: 32 Calories
4.5g carb
3.2g protein
0.1g fat

1.5 scoops unflavored whey: 169.5 Calories
3g carbs
33g protein
3g fat

Totals: 413.5 Calories
48.8g carb
43.9g protein
4.1g fat

I'm figuring my calorie level for cutting is around 2000-2100 calories, and I eat 5 meals per day (or would like to) so for those times when I can't eat real food, how does this smoothie go as an MRP?

And I do realize I might need more fat in this, but I'm not sure what to add for that. Some people might say PB, but I think that would make this smoothie taste nasty. Any suggestions?

For fat:
======
What about ground/milled flax seed....has a nutty flavour. Almond butter is an alternative to peanut butter.

Avocado is a possibility
Extra Virgin Olive Oil (is actually sweet tasting)

You already have yogurt why a 3/8 cup of milk? I'd either eliminate the milk or eliminate to yogurt and bump the other up for your dairy. Assuming the yogurt is sugar free probably go with that and get the benefit of bacterial cultures and natural CLA. If you're really short on fat, use 2% milk or possibly "light" yogurt.

You could take your fat right after drinking the smoothie, as I usually do when making MRP shakes. I will sometimes eat a tablespoon of natural peanut butter or pound down 1/2 - a full tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and chase it with the smoothie. You could also add fish oil caps.

Fish caps are probably the best answer since I don't usually carry around olive oil/PB to the places where I would need to be using the MRP

Smoothie looks fine to me.

For fats - you could carry around some walnuts or almonds in a little container. Or sprinkle some linseeds into the shake as well - both would be very easy.
