High-Calorie Banana Peanut Butter Smoothie
If you have health conditions, like cancer, HIV, AIDS or malnutrition it may be important for you to consume a higher calorie diet to support your immune system and overall health. Smoothies can be a great way to get high-quality, nutritionally dense, calories into your body.
The bananas and peanut butter in this smoothie are great sources of magnesium, which is great for patients undergoing chemotherapy who often experience decreased magnesium levels.
Bananas are also rich in potassium which is a crucial mineral for blood pressure control. Meanwhile, peanut butter provides vitamin B3 and healthy fat that can lower the risk of heart disease.
