Nutrition-Packed Smoothie Bowl

Looking for a healthy recipe that is great post-surgery?

Look no further!

This is my go-to recipe for something quick, nutritious, and can be eaten after any kind of mouth surgery (or just on a random Saturday morning). 

If your child is small, and it is difficult to feed with a spoon, the following is a great option to squeeze the smoothie into his or her mouth. You’ll also have full control over the portion:  Squeasy Food Pouch

 

Nutrition-Packed Smoothie Bowl

Perfect for that post-surgery food. The cold will feel good on the surgical sites, and the nutrition content is great for keeping energy up and bellies full.

Recipe Notes

This recipe will be loved by adults and kids alike! Feel free to substitute mango for blueberries, strawberries, or your favorite fruit.

Feel free to top with soft fruits and drizzle with honey!

The flaxseed meal in this recipe will help with the recovery from surgery for getting rid of bloating post-anesthesia!

I hope you enjoy the smoothie. The great thing about this is that you can disguise medicine in the smoothie too! If your child is being fussy about taking the medicine, go ahead and put the liquid right into the mix.
