Learn English – Use of word “stuffy” to mean “not easily digested” (or word suggestion)

word-meaningword-requestword-usage

Scenario:

I only had a cup of smoothie for lunch so I'd get hungry pretty soon
afterwards. This is because smoothie is not very stuffy. It
digests easily and fast so that my stomach becomes empty very soon.

Question, does the word make sense here? If not, what's the word for a food which does not digest easily and remains longer in your stomach so that you wouldn't feel hungry for a longer period of time?

(Note: "Hard" is not precise)

Best Answer

Stuffy doesn't work here. One way I see it is that the smoothie is itself clogged (doesn't really make sense). You could call it dense or thick, but I think you might be looking for filling:

filling
adjective
4. Food that is filling makes you feel full when you have eaten it.
• Although it is tasty, crab is very filling.
