Can you wake up 15 minutes earlier to eat? It is the most important meal of the day. What to mix the shake with depends on what kind of shake it is. If it's a straight protein shake, then yes to milk. If it's a weight gainer shake, it's probably loaded with calories already(the one I have used and prefer is 570 calories before the milk). Do yourself a favor though and pick option 1: real food.

Even if the real food is only a yogurt with a piece of fruit. It's to get the metabolism going.

That's easy! Try some egg whites scrambled with some lean meat and whole grain toast. Maybe even a serving of juice. It doesn't have to be milk!
