New Series Provides Summer Snack Recipes for Patients with Cancer

This summer, CURE is pleased to bring you a new social media series: Summer Snacktime!

We’ve partnered with oncology dieticians from the John Theurer Cancer Center to bring you recipes for snacks that are healthy, easy to make, and offer benefits for those going through cancer and its treatments. Throughout the summer, we’ll be sharing a new recipe every Wednesday here on curetoday.com and on all of our social channels.

This week, we’re kicking off the series with a red, white and blue snack that’s sure to please everyone: Patriot Yogurt Pops!

Because they’re made with Greek yogurt, each pop contains between 7 to 10 grams of protein, which makes them a filling summertime treat. And thanks to their cool, creamy texture, they can help to soothe mouth sores associated with chemotherapy and/or radiation.
