Sore Teeth? Can’t Eat? Try This Braces-Friendly Recipe!

Welcome to the first installment of our blog – Ocean’s Smiles! We’re excited to bring you fresh content from the Ocean Orthodontics team focused around our favourite braces-friendly recipes, community and products news, ortho tips, and success stories.

So you just got your braces on and/or adjusted and now your teeth are sore… What can you eat?!

Each month, we would like to share one of our favourite braces-friendly recipes with you. This month we recommend Smoothies!

Smoothies are a great option for a delicious meal in a glass, offering a convenient, balanced option. Throw whatever you like in a blender, add protein to make it more filling, and even try a handful of spinach; if the smoothie is made right, you won’t even taste it! Here’s an example of a healthy smoothie recipe. Add the following to a blender:

• Milk (almond and coconut also work well)
• 2 large spoonfuls of vanilla yogurt
• 1 cup of frozen berry mix
• 1 handful of spinach
• 1 scoop protein powder or hemp hearts
• 3 ice cubes

Blend until completely smooth, serve in a big glass with a straw, and enjoy!
