This recipe of the week is perfect for those recovering from surgery who are following a fluid diet. Remember that when recovering from surgery it is important to include fluids containing protein, provided here by the low fat evaporated milk and skim milk powder. For those who have moved on from the smoothie stage this can be frozen into ice blocks for a refreshing summer treat! Sharon loved this smoothie. It even got a tick from four of the five of her other household members, even little miss fusspot who came back for seconds! Enjoy!
