That's why I go heavy on the carbs in the morning--energy for work and so that I can reduce the amount of carbs I take in the rest of the day
That's actually the exact opposite. If you are taking in alot of carbs early in the morning, especially within an hr after you wake up, it should be making you feel like shite about 30 mins after you eat.

yeah, protein is better for you in the AM.
If I were you, I would ditch the shake in the AM unless its a green shake.
Instead, just eat the yogurt (low fat), berries and granola in a bowl. it will feel more filling that way.
granola has crazy high amounts of sugar but you can make your own and it tastes great and has a lot less sugar. there are recipes online. I started making mine a few years ago and I cannot eat store bought granola any more. One serving of mine is 92 calories, and just a gram or two of sugar.
fruit juice is basically soda, cut that out.

i really put whole oats in the blender with ice, protein, peanut butter, maybe banana, almonds... honey etc depending on what you wanna do.
Solid shake, but probably not the best for weight loss.
The OP should focus his leaning out efforts on the real food he eats. Shakes should be the exception in your diet, not the rule.
For me, leaning out = less carbs, more light activity while still lifting normally.

Not a bad thing at 7am in the morning post workout

How about this overnight oats recipe? You make it the night before. It's not too bad. You could reduce the amount of oats if you want to decrease your carb intake.

I was using granola from whole foods, didn't know if there was a huge difference!
I used to do the yogurt in a bowl, but I was so much easier liquidifying it in the morning so I could drink it on my way to work

The smoothie I make starts with unsweetened almond milk and also has a banana, frozen blueberries, Smuckers natural peanut butter, regular yogurt, and flaxseed meal. I don't worry about protein in the smoothie but you seem to have that covered with the whey protein.
Get a pack of skinless chicken breasts. Spice them up (or not) and bake them in the oven at 400' for 30 minutes, loosely covered with aluminum foil. During the week, take what you need and reheat it in the microwave to use those as a basis for meals. Buy a bag of wild salmon filets from Costco or whatever and sear them in a pan for another easy meal option. Lean red meat is another good option.
Hungry between meals? Eat as much salad as you want but go light on the dressing.

when i'm cutting, my post workout consist of water and whey protein. then a high protein, low carb meal within an hour.
When i'm bulking shakes turn into peanut butter, banana, vanilla ice cream whey, oats, ice, milk, creatine, and dextrose.
and meal after using consists of some lean meats with brown rice or sweet potato.
