Low FODMAP Smoothie Guide
Low FODMAP Smoothie Guide
Smoothies are one of the easiest ways to enjoy a nutritious meal while keeping ingredients simple and easy to digest. For people following a low FODMAP diet, smoothies can be a particularly useful option because ingredients can be carefully selected and portioned to avoid digestive triggers.
However, many smoothie recipes online include high FODMAP ingredients such as apples, mango, honey or dairy milk. These ingredients can contribute to bloating and digestive discomfort for people with IBS.
By choosing low FODMAP fruits, plant-based milk and simple protein sources, smoothies can become a convenient and gut-friendly meal or snack.
