What are some nutritious smoothie recipes for someone with lymphoma?

Smoothies are an excellent way to pack in healthy nutrients, especially when solid foods don't appeal to you during treatment. They're easy to make and can help you get the calories and protein your body needs.

Here are some nutrient-dense ingredients to include in your power smoothies:

Protein sources:
* Nut butters (peanut, almond, or cashew butter)
* Greek yogurt
* Beans (yes, they can work in smoothies!)

Nutrient boosters:
* Kale or spinach
* Flaxseed meal
* Chia seeds
* Avocado

Fruits and vegetables:
* Berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries)
* Bananas
* Any fresh fruits you enjoy

Liquid base:
* Water
* Low-sugar sports drinks for electrolytes
* Milk or non-dairy alternatives

A MyLymphomaTeam member shared their success: "Recently, I started drinking smoothies with kale, and I have more energy and feel better. I make them myself with fruits and vegetables."

Try blending a combination like Greek yogurt, banana, berries, a handful of spinach, a tablespoon of nut butter, and some chia seeds with your liquid of choice. This gives you protein, healthy fats, vitamins, and fiber all in one glass.

If you're struggling with weight loss during treatment, smoothies are particularly helpful for getting enough calories without feeling too full.
