A Dairy-Free Kick-Start To The Day

February 2, 2016 2 Comments

chia seed abd raspberry smoothie

 

Reviewing some of the comments on my post about Breakfast Week there have been a few requests for something for very early post-ops and also those who need something dairy-free. 

 

It can be difficult to find a dairy-free snack or breakfast option, but

these two smoothies fit the bill. They’re also a great way of getting fruit, calcium and some fibre into your new dietary regime. Each recipe is enough for 1 pre-surgery or normal portion or up to 2 small WLS portions.

 

 

ENERGY BANANA AND CRANBERRY SMOOTHIE

Ingredients

METRIC/US

1 tbsp oats

150 ml/2/3 cup unsweetened almond milk (I used Alpro)

1 small banana

50 ml/1/4 cup unsweetened cranberry juice drink

40 g/scant 1/2 cup fresh or frozen cranberries

 

Method

  1.  Soak the oats in the almond milk for 15 minutes.
  2.  Add to a liquidiser or blender with the banana, cranberry juice and cranberries.
  3.  Blitz until smooth and pour into a glass to serve.

    Can i use skimmed milk instead of almond milk? And for the other recipes how long does the basic recipe stays eatable?

    You can use skimmed milk Anne but the consistency will be thinner and it won’t be dairy free. These are best consumed on the same day as making. C x
