Whether you’re following a liquid diet for weight loss, for digestive health, or for other medical reasons, you still want to have food that’s delicious. From soups, to juices and smoothies, there are lots of liquid meals to choose from.

What is a Clear Liquid Diet?

Clear liquids can be water, plain jello, some fruit juices without pulp, and broths. Liquid diets are easy to digest and don’t leave any undigested food behind in the digestive tract. Clear liquid diets do not contain many nutrients and should only be followed for a very short time. 

What Can I Eat on a Liquid Diet?

There are actually many options for liquid diets. In addition to soups, broths, jello, and juices, you can also enjoy foods like smoothies, milkshakes, popsicles, and puddings.
