Rachel is a friend of mine who follows the low-fodmap diet, loves to experiment in the kitchen, and was kind enough to share this recipe with me. This is a great example of how many different healthful ingredients you can have in a low-fodmap smoothie. Rachel, a fitness instructor at Equinox, has this every morning and she is feeling (and looking) incredible. This smoothie has two different fruits but each one is half-portion size.
Ingredients
- 1½ cups water or almond milk
- ½ unripe medium banana
- 10 blueberries
- 1 teaspoon spirulina
- 1 scoop low-fodmap protein powder (optional)
- 1 cup spinach, well washed
- 1 tablespoon chia or flaxseeds
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder
- Slice of fresh ginger and/or turmeric
How to Make It
- Combine all the ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth.
