Protein smoothie

[auttinicole 23]

So this may be a dumb question but I am dying for a different flavor other than freaking vanilla or chocolate for Protein Shakes and was wondering if the whole, no fruit or veggies thing counts if it's all blended up? So if I made a spinach, mango, and peach smoothie with Water and zero chunks? And of course with some Protein Powder thrown in (yay unflavored unjury!). Oh and I'm 7 days post op and on full liquids until Sunday when I get to start purées!! Thanks for the help!

Hi, this early post op I would ask the NUT. My advice is just stick with what they told you to have, I know it sucks to drink the same things. You do not want to irritate your stomach or your staples. All the best!

I was allowed, but I kept the fruit to minimum. So it would be either a half a mango OR a half a peach and a handful of spinach. I then added Protein powder, Water and ice. Just check with your nutritionist if this is allowed.

Use your vanilla base and add essences e.g. strawberry, banana. You can also try things like mint essence in your chocolate shakes.

I used unflavored Protein and added a couple of teaspoons of sugar free pudding mix to mine or sugar free Jello. My nut gave me the idea. Just add enough to flavor but not to thicken . Check with you nut first. Good luck
