10 Popular Smoothie Meal Replacement Flavors Among Our Patients

Bariatric surgeries such as gastric bypass, gastric band, duodenal switch, and sleeve gastrectomy have all proven to be effective surgical methods for treating patients with class III obesity.

The purpose of these operations is to reduce the size of the stomach and change the way the body absorbs and digests food. Following a bariatric surgery you will feel less hungry and fuller even after consuming small meals which can help considerably with weight loss.

However, while the surgery can be an effective fix to help you meet your weight loss goals, the dietary restrictions imposed post-op can be challenging to manage and adhere to.

Luckily, Ambari Nutrition offers bariatric protein shakes and smoothie meal replacements that are a delicious, flavorful, and convenient way to get the essential nutrients, protein, and vitamins needed to help support post-op recovery and achieve weight loss goals.

In this article, we will look at the 10 most popular smoothie meal replacement flavors that are hot favorites among our patients and why they should be incorporated as part of your daily dietary routine.
