Protein Shakes & Feeling Full

I've noticed something and I can't quite figure it out.  Every AM (usually around 7) for breakfast I have a protein shake (Syntrax Nectar) in which I add - Greek yogurt, 1 c. almond milk, 1 Del-Monte fruit cup.  I blend and then sip (yes still this is a challenge).

 

This keeps me full all AM (even through my commute where I walk and stand a lot).  Usually by the time I feel hungry it is between 12:15 - 12:30 PM.  However, I've tried having the same thing for lunch and it is a no go.

 

If I have the shake for lunch (12:30 PM) I am literally starving by 3 PM.  I'm not sure why this doesn't keep me full in the afternoon.  I'd like to get to the point where I can do 2 shakes and a small dinner. 

 

I like the feeling after the shake (feel satisfied but not weighed down) but it is such a no go twice in one day.  Anyone experience this?  Any suggestions?

 

I'm not trying to do this every day, but on my busy days I just don't always have time for a full sit down lunch.

How many carbs are in the shake after you add the fruit, yogurt etc...Maybe that particular mixture has a little to much sugar? I know I'm that way as far as if I eat anything early in the day that has too much sugar, I'm starving by 1 or 2.

Good idea to eat a meal at lunch and shake for dinner.

There are about 34 carbs in the shake. That could be high. I normally do peaches (keep me full longer than strawberries my fave). I'll play around with not adding the fruit and see what happens.

My Nut told me to eat at least 3 servings of fruit a day so I've been trying to add them to something so I don't get bored.
