Fruit

[sews4fun 53]

My Doctor says no fruit with seeds for the first six months. I haven't been banded yet, but have tried making a few smoothies with the recipes he gave me. I really liked the strawberry one. I guess I'll just have to wait til Christmas to enjoy strawberries again!! LOL

I do try to include green smoothies! I always cut up fresh fruit and freeze it for smoothies.

I believe 2 fruit five veg is good for us. Fruit is high in sugar, so I dont eat TOO much of it, and whole fruit is best (which includes pureed, rather than juiced).

The trouble is, I dont like it very much, sigh. I pretty much dislike the thought of eating anything cold, I dont know why. Fruit, salad, cold drinks. Now I love my cooked vegies and I drink coffee all day long, but I cant stand the sensation of cold things - and its not that I have sensitive teeth. So it takes consistent effort for me to get enough fruit in, salads you can always replace with hot vegies. And I eat an awful lot of homemade healthy Soup.< /p>

smoothies always block me up and get stuck too - I have no idea why. But I struggle on because I certainly believe an all Protein diet is absolutely horrible for us.
