CREAMY ORANGE FROSTY FOR CANCER AND OTHER VERY ILL PATIENTS

I try not to do this often but today I am basically sharing an article from my Ladybugs Sweet Treats Blog.  This recipe could be so helpful to patients who are very ill or perhaps undergoing cancer treatments that I thought it would be worthwhile to repeat it here.

CREAMY ORANGE FROSTY

NOTE: While this is a delicious recipe for anyone, cancer patients or others who are seriously ill, may find this frosty helps when having difficulty swallowing or when foods have a metallic taste. Make, refrigerate, and sip on it throughout the day if necessary.  (See Dr. Sears remarks about this in a previous post on this site.)

8 cups orange or vanilla frozen yogurt (8 cups = 1/2 gallon)
1 can (6-oz) frozen calcium-fortified orange juice concentrate, thawed
1 cup milk (whole, fat-free, soy, etc; whatever suits your needs)

Place half the ingredients in blender container; cover and blend on medium speed about 45 seconds or until thick and smooth. Stop and scrape down sides as needed.

Repeat with remaining ingredients or save remaining ingredients for another day.

Let me add that this drink is high in potassium, calcium, vitamin-C, folic acid and it is low in fiber for those who might be having a problem in that area.

HEALTHIER SUBSTITUTIONS FOR SOUR CREAM IN COOKING

When a recipe calls for sour cream, you can do a healthier substitution by using 1 cup plain low-fat yogurt. If you still want to use sour cream, try using the reduced calorie/fat free version.

Linda Update

Dear readers,

I fell on the morning of August 31 and broke my femur. I had surgery that day and I am now in therapy. I appreciate any prayers you feel led to pray on my behalf. Therapy is going well, and I hope to be back to normal in a few weeks. In the meantime, that is the reason for fewer posts. Thank you for your patience.
