Smoothie making made easy:

• Thoroughly wash all fruit and vegetables before using them in a smoothie.  If your white blood count is low, be sure to check with your medical team if it is OK to eat fresh fruit & vegetables.
  
• If your mouth is sore, skip fruit that contains small seeds (berries, kiwi).  These tiny seeds can irritate a sore mouth.  Use fruits without seeds (& less acidic), bananas, peaches, nectarines or pears without skins.  And skip the flax seeds if your mouth is sore.
  
• NEVER use raw eggs in a smoothie.
