Reply To: Nutritious snacks & tips for combatting appetite loss?

Smoothies saved me so many times! I tried protein bars for a while, but turns out my body would rather starve for an extra few hours, rather than eat a protein bar (of the same flavor for a year).

Try these to get you started:

1 Banana, milk (or milk alternative), protein powder or 1/2 cup of peanut butter. Optional: honey, ice cubes.
Blend.

Greek yogurt (plain or flavored. I like coconut, honey, or lime), milk (or milk alternative)
Blend.

Mixed berries (blackberries, strawberries, raspberries – frozen or fresh), milk. Optional: honey, ice cubes
Blend.

Half orange juice, half milk, desired fruit.
Blend.

Do not keep a 100% liquid or smoothie diet. You still need solid foods and lots of fiber, no matter what. Try whole apples and vegetables.

I still eat ‘bad’ foods like bagels and crackers, but pair them with eggs, cheese, hummus, etc.

Good luck. 🙂
