This simply works as a guide and helps you to connect with doctors of your choice. Please confirm the doctor’s availability before leaving your premises.
Emergency bariatric care may be needed if you experience severe abdominal pain, complications from weight loss surgery, or symptoms of nutritional deficiencies.
Guess what I did last weekend? I made a lot of smoothies. I was working on recipes for my clients. I wanted to keep them low-carb, nutritious, tasty, and easy to make with just a few ingredients.
I wanted to give you plenty of different “tastes”, and not just chocolate, chocolate, chocolate.
Smoothies are notoriously HIGH in carbs because fruit contains “fructose”. These are super low in carbs when you compare them to “regular” smoothies.
Please know that you can modify these to suit your tastes. You can tailor these to suit your lifestyle.
For example, don’t like almond milk? Switch it out for regular milk or water. Don’t like cherries? Switch the cherries for raspberries. Not into almond butter? Switch it out for a piece of avocado or some peanut butter.
Do you want more protein, add a bit more protein powder or some almonds.
I’ve listed all the macronutrients, calories, fiber, etc., for your convenience.
I hope you enjoy these recipes that I’ve created just for YOU. If you make one, post it and tag me. I want to see your smoothies. If you want more of these recipes, just let me know.
