Tag: Fruit smoothie safety

According to research, many bariatric patients find protein shakes a necessary supplement to meet their nutritional needs. However, a standard fruit smoothie after gastric sleeve can be risky because of high sugar levels and a lack of protein and fiber. Following specific guidelines and focusing on protein-rich, low-sugar alternatives is crucial for a successful recovery and long-term weight management.

While many smoothies and desserts combine milk and fruit, research shows it may not be suitable for everyone, especially those with sensitive digestive systems. The key question is not just 'can' you, but 'should' you mix milk and fruit for optimal health and digestion.
