Has anyone tried making smoothies with Complan?

Hi,

 

I've had Bowel cancer now for just over a year and I've reached a point where I have no appetite and I'm shedding weight quite quickly. Macmillan nurses have suggested using Complan.

 

I know Complan make a range of flavours but for a while, before I got to this point, I was making whey protien smoothies with my own ingredients. Has anyone tried making up smoothies with Complan or is this a no go?

 

Thanks

  • Welcome to Cancer Chat Nixxrite although I'm sorry about your diagnosis and the struggles you're currently having with your appetite and weight.

    Hopefully some of our members who have used Complan will share their tips and advice with you soon but if you'd like to have a quick chat with one of our cancer nurses about using it to make a smoothie then do give them a call. They're available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m on 0808 800 4040. We also have some information about managing diet problems on our website just here.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
