Chemo Popsicle

(from www.thecancerblog.com)

Not everyone suffers these side-effects but sometimes chemotherapy can upset the digestive system. It can cause nausea and vomiting, diminish overall feelings of wellness, cause sore gums and mouth sores and ruin the appetite.

The following is a recipe from a chapter in "Chicken Soup for the Breast Cancer Survivor's Soul" by Barbara Curtis.

The recipe includes essential ingredients - fruit and tofu provide phytochemicals and protein; and liquids for depleted bodies. The cool popsicle soothes sore mouths and settles stomachs and is easy to put together.

Ingredients:

One 8 oz glass of Freshly squeezed orange juice

One cup frozen mango or frozen berries

3/4 square tofu, medium firmness

One banana

Add passionfruit juice or other fruit juices for flavour

Put all ingredients into a blender. Blend to liquefy. Add more juice if liquid is too thick - it should be as thick as a smoothie. Pour blended mixture into moulds and freeze.
