I can't get through to the doctor's office and I have a prep that says a week before colonscopy no nuts or raw vegetables.

Can I do creamy peanut butter in a smoothy? Can I liquify the spinach in a smoothie. I have anemia and I need to have certain foods high in protein.

I'm not an expert personally, but according to this it looks like the creamy PB is ok, but not the spinach, as you are going for low fiber. However, this starts 3 days before your colonoscopy and not an entire week.

I just had a scope done and my prep was the same. I started low fiber and all that 3 days before, as well. Not sure we are having different procedures or not so stick with your own paperwork.

But here is the list I found :

good luck !

My GI's office has said a kale smoothy is fine (even the morning prior to the colonoscopy) as long as the greens are really blended well, no rough bits.

Every doctor and every prep has slightly different instructions.
