Are you in need of a quick breakfast or afternoon snack? Maybe you are undergoing cancer treatment and your appetite isn’t the same but you know you need calories and essential nutrients. Or, do you just want to drop a few pounds?

We asked our dietitians at the Nancy N. and J.C. Lewis Cancer & Research Pavilion to come up with a tasty and healthy smoothie recipe that can be enjoyed by all.

Here’s their take on a strawberry raspberry smoothie. We hope you’ll give it a try soon and enjoy!
