I quit drinking coffee around the end of last summer and replaced it with around a litre of green tea mixed into a shake that consists mostly of oat, nut and seed meal, blueberries, honey, and a few spices which replaces my breakfast entirely. This generally keeps me fed until lunch or after depending on my activity level. I don't miss coffee and the most drastic effect has been an almost complete elimination of heart burn. I do still have the occasional cup of coffee but find my taste for it has waned.

would you mind posting your recipe for that? Is it palatable? How much do you make and how long does it take you to consume it?

  Sure, I'd compare the taste to a blueberry muffin but, you know, in liquid form. 1L freshly steeped green tea (2 min, less if you dislike the flavour) 1/2 cup quick oats 1/2 tsp. nutritional yeast 1/2 tsp. flax seed meal, finely ground (use a coffee grinder if too coarse) pinch of salt cinnamon to taste 1 to 2 Tbsp. nut butter (I use soy and I've also tried cashew and almond but I find them too oily, coconut oil is an option too, use whatever you prefer) 1 to 2 Tbsp. of creamed honey, using regular honey will make it much sweeter 1/2 or 1 cup of frozen or fresh blueberries or other fruit 2 or 3 Tbsp. of milk, powdered or fresh I also add a multivitamin and other supplements but they aren't necessary. Combine ingredients in a blender and blend for a minute or so until the oatmeal is reduced to the consistency of a shake. Serve hot or cold. I usually drink half the mixture immediately and then either save the rest for a mid-morning snack or continue drinking it while I'm starting my day. I've experimented with adding other seeds and grains but I find this mixture to be the most to my liking but it is an adaptable recipe so you can add whatever you prefer.
