This recipe of the week is one for those who are early in their weight loss surgery journey – a smoothie for the fluid diet. Whilst fruit and juice smoothies can be very refreshing and packed with vitamins, they don’t contain much protein. Here we have included some light evaporated milk to sneak a little protein in to aid your recovery. We have also added some Fibresure® to boost the fibre intake. Enjoy!

¾ cup unsweetened orange juice
½ cup light and creamy evaporated milk
1 banana, chopped
1 apple, peeled cored and chopped into chunks
2 teaspoons Fibresure®
