Peach Smoothie

Smoothies are an exceptional way to add extra calories, extra protein and wider variety of foods to a puréed diet and/or individuals on thickened liquids. You can do a search online for smoothies for weight gain, smoothies for added protein, smoothies for diabetics, etc, to meet your specific dietary needs. There are numerous options to tailor your smoothie to your liking. I often don't measure ingredients and just add what I have on hand. They always come out tasting delicious.
