I am audhd and all my life been enjoying some form of these mostly for breakfast/lunch/before a workout, because I often either forget to eat or just don't feel like it, can't be arsed or am not hungry until later in the day.
I love that these are no longer just diet foods with incredibly low calories, lots of diet culture marketing and stuff that can easily slip into ED territory. In the past I would use a marker to cover especially triggering slogans and stuff from the packages as I have a history with this stuff. But these days you can buy decent vegan options that actually hold you over and have enough energy to be a proper meal.
I mostly buy a vegan meal replacement one that has plant based proteins, vitamins, fiber, probiotics and even digestive enzymes added to it and it surprisingly isn't that expensive, I buy it when it's on sale. My go-to flavour is chocolate and I always just mix it with water.
Nowadays I also like eating smoothies with vegan protein after I discovered those go-to smoothie machines where you make the smoothie straight into the bottle and there is no other washing apart from rinsing the blade. (I still do the meal replacement shake on my 100% no spoons days). I also recommend this for easy meals. Just get some plant based protein powder, oat milk, frozen berriers or fruit, some flax meal or psyllium husk for fiber and a sweetener. I typically do mine with frozen lingonberries, banana, psyllium and flax seeds, strawberry flavored protein powder, oat milk, vanilla & sweetener. It is about 350-400 calories, almost all of my daily dietary fiber and lots of protein & omega 3s. I take a probiotic with it as my tummy gives me a lot of grief these days (thanks covid).
