Smoothie Time....Duh, nuh, nuh, nuh...nuh, nuh, nuh, nuh.

If you're a gastric bypass patient, summer sucks. No way around it. Exercising sucks, we can't get enough water, blah, blah, blah. That's why it's so important to eat/drink things we can process, won't make us sick and are delicious.

All these recipes have something we need and are easy to make. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!!
