Mango Spinach Protein Smoothie with Greek Yogurt Best Foods to Eat on GLP-1
This blended smoothie is ideal for the 48 hours following your Wegovy injection, when appetite is suppressed but nutritional needs remain high. Mango is exceptionally rich in vitamins A, C, and B6 — all critical for immune support and metabolic function during tirzepatide recovery. Unsweetened Greek yogurt blends seamlessly to add 15–20g of protein without any cooking. Baby spinach disappears completely in the blend but delivers iron, folate, and magnesium. Avoid adding fruit juice, flavored syrups, or full-fat dairy, as these add unnecessary calories and fat that semaglutide users should avoid during the post-injection window. A full day's vitamin A is in one cup of mango.
