It is hard not to enjoy a smoothie even when your appetite may not be what it once was. When your mouth is sore and you have ulcers, smoothies are a great way to get the nutrients you need for treatment and recovery.
Shelli always enjoyed a watermelon smoothie with mint and ice! I would keep bags of frozen watermelon in the freezer for that purpose. For Shelli, the colder the drinks were the better.
Another was a berry and banana smoothie. I found this Mixed Berries and Banana Smoothie (and Smoothie Bowl) on Food Network. Consider this recipe a two-for-one. You can blend the smoothie ingredients together and serve in a glass as a drinkable snack, or pour into a bowl and add the toppings for a more substantial meal.
Ingredients
Smoothie: Combine the berries, orange juice, yogurt, banana and honey, if using, in a blender and puree until smooth.
- 1 cup frozen mixed berries
- 3/4 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup low-fat vanilla yogurt
- 1 frozen ripe banana
- 1 teaspoon honey, optional
Toppings for a Smoothie Bowl: Pour the smoothie into a bowl. Top with the blueberries, raspberries, vanilla yogurt and granola. Sprinkle with the chia seeds.
- 1/4 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup fresh raspberries
- 2 dollops low-fat vanilla yogurt
- 2 to 3 tablespoons granola
- 1 teaspoon chia seed
