  • Nutrition Tip

    Being tired is common during cancer treatment. Fatigue can make meal preparation exhausting, and when you are finished with preparation, you may not even feel like eating. When you are most fatigued try creating quick and easy nourishing recipes like this smoothie. This yogurt protein smoothie is both refreshing and nutritious. You can even prepare smoothies the night before an appointment and re-blend in the morning before heading out.

    When choosing a protein powder, read the ingredient list carefully. Generally protein powders should provide approximately 14-21 grams per serving. Protein powders can be from many sources – whey, soy, pea, rice, hemp.
