Peanut butter's a lifesaver for sure, but almond butter was my secret weapon—less sticky and blends smoother imo. Totally second the berry seed warning though...blueberry skins got me once, sneaky little things. Weirdly enough, I started craving celery of all things after day three. Guess you always want what you can't have, right? Hang tight, you'll be crunching chips again before you know it.
"Weirdly enough, I started craving celery of all things after day three."
Haha, celery cravings? That's a new one for me. I'm on day four post-braces tightening, and honestly, the thought of anything crunchy still makes me wince. Almond butter sounds tempting though—does it really blend smoother than peanut butter? I've been sticking to yogurt and mashed bananas because I'm paranoid about anything remotely sticky messing up my brackets. Also, good call on the blueberries—I learned the hard way with raspberries. Those tiny seeds are sneaky little devils.
Quick question: did anyone else find smoothies made their teeth extra sensitive from the cold? I've been letting mine sit out for a bit before drinking, which kinda defeats the purpose of a smoothie...but desperate times, right?
Smoothies definitely made my teeth ache too, especially strawberry ones for some reason. I've been microwaving mine for like 10 seconds—sounds weird, but it helps. Did anyone else's dentist warn against almond butter? Mine said it's sneaky-sticky...
"Did anyone else's dentist warn against almond butter? Mine said it's sneaky-sticky..."
My dentist didn't mention almond butter specifically, but he did warn me about peanut butter after my extraction. I ignored him once—big mistake. Spent ages nervously rinsing my mouth, convinced I'd messed something up...
My dentist didn't mention almond butter either, but he did caution me against anything sticky or grainy—like oatmeal, surprisingly. Did anyone else get warned about oatmeal? Seems odd since it's usually considered gentle...
