Blended breakfast

I’ve had some creeping Crohn’s symptoms so trying to stave them off with blended foods. The aim is gut rest and nutrition for healing.

Blended breakfast:

• 2-3 dates
• 1/2 cup old fashioned oatmeal
• 2 gobs of almond butter
• Water to the consistency you like (I like this one pretty thin because the oats get gloopy if it’s too thick)

Blend until smooth.

Basically it’s a hearty oatmeal breakfast with no chewing or gut effort. Also super yummy! This is based on an almond date lhassi I had in Philly.

I have found the oat based smoothies are better if you drink them immediately rather than traveling with them because they get super thick if they sit. But you could drink this later if you watered it down more.
