I would choose smoothies over shakes. My favorite smoothies are fruit! Just get nonfat yogurt, a little ice and whatever fruit you want. Strawberry, banana, pineapple is my favorite!
Also my husband's specialty is oats, chocolate, honey, peanut butter and banana...Awesome!
My mom just bought me a smoothie recipe book for Christmas and I plan to try a new one everyday!
Also a quick healthy meal our whole family loves is baked fish. We buy the frozen, individually wrapped filets, usually tilapia and bake them as directed on the package with a little butter (promise makes a fat free that really tastes like butter) and paprika. My picky 4 yr old even likes this!
You don't necessarily have to eat different meals when trying to eat healthy, but just switching the ingredients to healthier ones make a huge difference!
