Smoothies are an excellent source of protein, veggies and fruits. You can drink smoothies in winter and summer for your alimentation during recovery. What makes smoothies beneficial and easy to make is that you can use seasonal fruits and vegetables so, your smoothie will be always made with fresh veggies and fruits. Also, you can use frozen fruits while making your smoothie if you want to consume of-season fruits. You can use your creativity while making your smoothies as long as you do not use high-calorie ingredients. If you think that you do not consume enough protein that day, you can add one scoop of protein powder to your smoothie for extra protein intake. It is important to say that you should start drinking smoothies after 2 weeks after your weight loss surgery. Because, after your bariatric surgery, your stomach is sensitive and during the first weeks, you should follow a clear liquid diet.
