Fruity Oaty Bars Drinks!

[redhillian]

In an effort to share the love, and express thanks to reallyfrank, I have here the method by which I am currently eating.

Smoothies, which may in fact be 'Moothies' as they have vastly more milk than fruit in them.

The illustrious reallyfrank suggested that I put oats into them, as this constitutes real nutrition, with protein and stuff. And it's got texture as well - and for a person who can't open their mouth more than their index finger, that's a valuable thing. It's great, and I love it.

My current favourite combination is:

1 x medium-large banana, a bit soft
1 x big spoon peanut butter (smooth)
1 x big spoon golden syrup
1 x 50ml scoop rolled/porridge/steel-cut(?) oats
some drinking chocolate powder
some milk

Blend all the above until smooth. Drink. It'l need stirring if you let it stand, and the oats will weld themselves to the glass if you don't wash it up.

It is very tasty.

I'm also surviving on Actimel, to avoid 'intestinal distress' from the antibiotics (thanks to Jules, nurse in the Personality Cult for the hint), and a combination of Paracetamol, Dihydrocodeine and Augmentin with plenty of water, salty mouthwashes and some Chow Mien last night (noodles can be eaten is soft enough evidently, prawn crackers are not nice when sucked and fortune cookie is impossible)

I am hoping that come Friday I can open my mouth a bit, as I have work all day and a gig all evening, and there needs to be eating somewhere along that path - and the traditional KFC that comes with this gig is not particularly amenable to this lifestyle...

After having my wisdoms out I found jelly to be stupid at first (lost it in my mouth and with all of the holes and stitches preferred not to poke around for it) but after a while it can be useful. Its on its way to being solid for when liquids become a bore.
That smoothie sounds awesome apart from the peanut butter.

Your moothie would have my dietician having fits, for some reason as I read the ingredients I could not get the image of her foaming at the mouth, out of my head. Apart from the banana it sounds nice. How long till the jaws work?

I'm hoping for within a few more days, but it's my first time round this ride...

Ooh, ooh, also, you may be able to eat hummus as a thing that is savoury, nutritious and has no corners. Love you! F xxxx

This was considered, but there is nothing he can eat hummus with. Aside from a small spoon.

I saw hummus in thr supermaket last night, but I couldn't work out what to eat it on (I'm not so keen on it when it's on its own) so I didn't buy any.

I did get some sandwich filler pots of splodgy stuff (corrie chicken, chicken & bacon, tuna mayo) tho', which I like normally anyway.
