Smoothie

[jeanetteramirez2 45]

Has anyone tried a smoothie after surgery? I want to go to planet smoothie but I'm afraid.

I did about 2 weeks after surgery. I bought one that you add juice & you shake it. They have it in the freezer of the supermarket.

I did had my first one 1.5 weeks out. If you normally have them add sugar then just tell them to add substitute sugar (stevia is pretty darn good)

I would stick to making them at home. That way you know exactly what's in it. I have tons of "recipes" in my head for smoothies if you tell me what your favorite flavor combinations are...

We LOVE making our own smoothies. Here's a bunch of ingredients you can mix and match for your own smoothies. When I feel like we are coming down with a cold a superfood antioxidant filled smoothie is our first remedy! Making your own is the healthiest way to go!

Nonfat plain greek yogurt

Unsweetened Almond milk

silken tofu

blueberries, peaches, or strawberries (we use frozen)

spinach

almond butter

Protein powder - vanilla, strawberry, or fuzzy navel would be good.

stevia, nectresse, or splenda

If you really want to get them somewhere else, try checking their website or store for nutritional information. I suspect they are loaded with sugar.

I went to smoothie king. You can get it "skinny" which means no sugar, but I could not drink a lot. It was a little think.

I have frozen raspberries n blackberries. I'm craving sweets n I'm 3 weeks out. What can I do w them for my cravings? Still not gettin all my protien n I forbid to do ne more shakes. I did mix my choc protien powder in w choc SF pudding. Yea to chocolatey. But I NEED fruit. Tired of tuna n fish n chicken. I eat way to much cheese now I'm bound up. Lol. I tried ham tonight. Yea I puked!!!! So ne suggestions on the raspberries n blackberries I have?

[moofish 27]

I was told to keep away from raspberries & blackberries for a while. The seeds (and there are MANY) can irritate your pouch or even get stuck in one of the tiny pockets created by the staples...

I usually do banana, strawberry and pineapple. With Water & ice and stevia.

Or

Mango & pineapple with Water & ice and stevia.

Yum.

WHAT'S STEVIA??

[TinyMamiOf3kids 1,280]

Stevia is a South American herb used as a natural sweetener for centuries. The leaves of the Stevia rebaudiana plant have a refreshing taste, zero glycemic index, zero calories and zero carbs. It is 25-30 times sweeter than sugar, and far more healthy!

[shrinkingDEE 60]

Lol yeah. They sell it in a box and in little packets.

You add it to anything that you would normally add regular sugar in and it tastes just like the real thing.

Today I did frozen pineapple, half a banana, spinach, ice, Water, and scoop of vanilla protein... This was my fav pre op. Post op with Protein wasn't bad- just not the same. & you don't taste the spinach! You can also substitute blueberries for bananas.

I just made way to much I need to learn how to make an 8 oz not whole blender! Lol
