[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 1187522, member: 17713"] Most smoothie recipes recommend banana.. They aren't necessary. It's just to thicken, not needed if you add in whey protein powder. There is one thing I would just mention. Yes a T1 can drink smoothies and many with gastroparesis end up with having to do live on smoothies n soups before being tube fed... However, they can raise potassium levels beyond target levels.. Ie I had one smoothie a day.. This waa homemade using 1 banana, 1 mango, yogurt or coconut milk, 1 apple, 1 kiwi fruit and handlful of spinach and either raspberries or blueberries. This was divided into 6 glasses of 170 ml. Hubby and I drank one a dsy for 3 days. My potassium levels went over target from doing this. Easy to bolus for and digested well so my lbg evels stayed good. Due to some great tablets and a fantastic gastro chap I no longer need to have such a limited diet and my levels of potassium in my blood have dropped again. Please keep an eye on all your bloods if adding smoothies regularly.. [/QUOTE]
