Nutritionist notes: This is one the best snacks that a gastric sleeve patients can eat. It is compact in size but powerful in nutrition. Feel free to personalize this recipe a bit by using other nuts and/or other dried fruit. Just make sure the dried fruit you buy is unsweetened, meaning no added sugars. Dried fruit, like all fruit, has natural sugar that is good for you.
