Healthy snacks

[Janeybell]

Hi Janeybell,

Welcome to the Healthy Eating forum. I hope your son is having a reasonable week, and that he's managing to cope with his food intake.

I wondered if this link page might be helpful to you? It's the MacMillan Cancer support page about Healthy eating:

macmillan.org.uk/informatio...

I know you specifically asked about smoothies, and I'm sorry that I don't have any suggestions of a good smoothie recipe - but hopefully you'll get some more replies to your post with some suggestions from other people.

Maybe put 'healthy snacks' in the search window above (top right) and you'll get some more ideas.

I've noticed that there is a link page about smoothies in the Macmillan healthy eating pages, which is here:

Also, some ideas for healthy snacks can be found here on the NHS choices website page:
