I couldn't find a thread like this-apologies if this is a duplicate.

I'd like to see the smoothies wls patients are making. I'm finding a lot of excellent green smoothies online but just *loadeD* with sugar from all the fruit. That said, I don't want to drink spinach juice.

So post your recipes here-thanks!

Half a banana, sliced and frozen (I weigh each banana half before I freeze it and write the weight on the wax paper I wrap it in)

0.5-1 cup water mixed with a scoop of GenePro

1 cup fresh, raw, spinach

.5 tablespoon of chia seeds

sweetener to taste

ice cubes to taste

It is kind of boring on flavor, but I also don’t want a ton of carbs. It doesn’t taste bad, just sort of blah. It ends up being about 150 kcals and 30+ grams protein. I need to follow this thread for more ideas.

Perfect-thanks!

I got a couple of bariatric cookbooks just so I would have ideas for things. There are some great recipes in both of them.
