Fruit smoothie
Betty Wessner, caregiver
Try this easy smoothie recipe when you have a poor appetite or if you have a dry mouth or find food hard to swallow.
| 1 cup | plain, unsweetened 1% or 2% yogurt (probiotic optional) | 250 mL |
| 1–2 tsp | coarsely ground flax seed | 5–10 mL |
| 1 | banana, not too ripe | 1 |
| 2/3 cup |
frozen berries | 170 mL |
| 1/2 cup | orange juice, approximately | 125 mL |
Place all the ingredients in the order given except the orange juice into a blender. (I use a small drink blender.) Add enough juice to bring the mixture to the 2 cup (500 mL) mark. Process until well mixed.
