SMOOTHIES
& SHAKES
A liquid diet is super easy for when you can’t eat solid foods.
It’s also great for when you have those endless appointments
and have to get up early. I need a good hour and over a litre of
water with every meal, so if I have an early hospital appointment
then I have absolutely no chance of being able to eat something
decent, unless I get up at stupid o’clock. Smoothies and shakes
are a good go-to meal. I’ve worked out recipes to be manageable
on the throat, flavoursome, and also full of protein, which is key
for recovery.
I started off with a Breville Blend Active blender, but it died through
overuse. I spoke to several friends about what their choice of
blender was, and the majority said Nutribullet is great as it holds a
good volume of liquid and it’s easy to clean. I did a bit of research
into it and discovered that it’s great for crushing ice, blending cold
soup (not good for warm liquids as they warm up in the blender
slightly and cause a vacuum, which once released, causes the
liquid to go everywhere), making hummus etc.
