It is best to chew your breakfast, but for many a shake is the way to take nutrition in hand. If you love shakes, try Phil's Shake. Phil Maffetone's favorite pre-training morning meal for athletes. Also great for an afternoon snack. He soft boils a dozen eggs at a time and keeps them ready, so preparing the shake takes about five minutes. Feel free to try variations. I like the eggs for protein and healthy fats: a simple whole food alternative to powdered protein. Use this recipe as a jumping off point: experiment!!
A great addition to a shake is Rachael Jean's Greens: an award winning green addition for shakes.
