Low FODMAP Smoothie Tips + Tricks
Gather your ingredients
This simple low fodmap protein shake is packed full of nutrients + also easily customizable depending on what phase of the low fodmap diet you’re in. You will need:
- Lactose free milk + water
- Low FODMAP Protein Powder: look for whey isolate protein powders as they are the most low fodmap friendly. I really love Vital Proteins and HUM Nutrition.
- Spinach + Kale: I love mixing fresh with frozen but you could use either or and this low fodmap smoothie would be just as delicious
- Avocado: if you are in the elimination phase, skip this. Avocado is only low fodmap friendly very small servings, 1/8th of the avocado. If you are past the elimination phase like I am and know you tolerate sorbitol then avocado is a great way to get some additional healthy fats into your diet.
- Green Granny Smith Apple: Granny Smith apples are the most low FODMAP friendly. About .8oz of a Granny Smith apple, to be exact, which is typically around 2 small slices. If you’re in the elimination phase, you may want to steer clear for now, otherwise if you tolerate sorbitol like I now do, you can feel free to enjoy!
What if I am in the Elimination Phase of low FODMAP?
If you are currently in the elimination phase of the low FODMAP diet, I would recommend making the following swaps in this low FODMAP smoothie:
- Avocado. Swap for nut butter instead for a dose of healthy fats.
- Apple. Swap for berries for a touch of sweetness. Remember that blueberries are the safest bet + blackberries are high FODMAP.
