Smoothie Tips for Cancer Patients
Cindy Hutson, Celebrity Chef with Miami Cancer Institute and Owner of Ortanique on the Mile, recommends starting with a liquid or protein base like almond milk, to add carbohydrate-like half of an apple or 1 cup of mixed berries, to add a healthy fat-like seeds, and to add a spice-like cinnamon or ginger.
Carla Araya, Registered Dietitian with Miami Cancer Institute, explains Greek yogurt is better than regular yogurt, because it is higher in protein, it is another way to add protein in the smoothies for the cancer patients who need it, and it has probiotics, which are good for the intestinal health.
