A filling breakfast or post-workout recovery drink, this protein-packed smoothie tastes just like strawberry cheesecake! You can also substitute any other fruit for the strawberries, or add half the strawberries and half a different kind of fruit. (We love the classic strawberry banana combo!)Submitted by: OILPAINTER

This was really good, though I nearly choked on the fumes of the pepper as it was frying. I added the rest of the ingredients earlier than called for. I also added frozen peas and zucchini. Will definitely make again! - 8/20/10

Delicious and filling! I upped the lentils (to 250g) and had to sub tomato paste for tomatoes, since I was out. I added in cauliflower to get some more texture. I always forget how great eggs in soups are! - 5/20/09

Wow, I really liked this!! Going to cook some rice and pour it over a half cup or so. Thanks so much for sharing, definately going to make this one again, can't wait to have the leftovers-maybe we won't wait for a couple of days, maybe tonight!! - 4/28/09

i think you can bring the calorie count down by only using 4 eggs, 1 hard boiled egg per serving. i also wound up painstakingly picking out the peppercorns and cloves afterwards as i didn't want to bite into any of that!!! - 3/17/09

I don't have a problem with the whole spices but you can replace them with 1/4 tsp clove spice and 1/2 tsp black pepper.

We usually eat this meal for dinner. 250 Cal is a very light dinner. I usually aim for 400 Cal per meal; but I might halve the eggs depending on dessert.
