SallylouRN Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 I just got braces and a bite plate which I quickly found out doesn’t let my molars meet in the back, and it’s almost impossible to chew anything like that! I know that smoothies are frowned upon, but I was wondering if there is a good meal replacement shake or smoothie that is whole 30 compliant and will give me the nutrients that I need.

Moderators ShannonM816 Posted May 25, 2021 Moderators Share Posted May 25, 2021 This is a situation where smoothies could be fine. I'm not sure of any particular pre-made kind that would be Whole30 compatible, but you could make them yourself. Try not to use too much fruit, try to include leafy greens, canned pumpkin, or cooked sweet potato. You could also do soups. Blend them up and they should be drinkable. This will probably be an easier way to get protein and vegetables. Maybe scrambled eggs, mashed potatoes or sweet potatoes or other vegetables cooked very soft and mashed? Definitely find out from your dentist or orthodontist if this is normal. Hopefully if it is, it's something that won't last very long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SophieSoard Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 I’m here to say, I feel this! My first two rounds of whole30 I didn’t have braces. I’m on my third and I have them now, and it has become so much harder! Potatoes and soft cooked veggies have become my gotos. I do have breakfast smoothies sometimes, or a veggie omelet with a banana. Do you have any other suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the meantime, you can try blending whole fruits and vegetables to make a smoothie. It would be easy to consume and still providing essential nutrients. Additionally, you may want to consider adding a source of protein such as egg whites or a scoop of collagen powder to help keep you full and satisfied. I hope my advice will be helpful!
