Black Forest Smoothie – Ostomy-Friendly Recipe

This is a great nutritious drink, snack, or pudding that provides two of your five daily servings of fruit and vegetables, 1⁄4 of your daily calcium needs, and feels like a treat!

Depending on your tolerance, you can blend the ingredients until smooth and drink straight away. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can pass the mixture through a sieve to remove any ‘bits’ that aren’t as easy to digest. For most people, this can be enjoyed 2-3 times a week, and for those trying to increase their weight, it can be enjoyed daily.
