Berry Bliss Low-FODMAP Smoothie: Sip Your Way to a Happy Gut"

If you're dealing with digestive issues, you know the struggle of finding tasty, easy-to-make snacks that won’t turn your stomach into a gurgling, angry volcano. Look no further than this low-FODMAP smoothie that’s as delicious as it is gut-friendly. Packed with lactose-free dairy, frozen berries, and unsweetened peanut butter, this smoothie delivers creamy, fruity goodness without sabotaging your day.

Why This Low-FODMAP Smoothie Works

Finding a good smoothie on a low-FODMAP diet can be like trying to find a unicorn—if unicorns were gut-friendly and tasted like peanut butter and berries. Most smoothies contain high-FODMAP ingredients like bananas, mangoes, or regular yogurt. Not this one. We’re keeping things safe by using:

• Lactose-free milk and yogurt: All the creaminess, none of the lactose chaos.

• Frozen low-FODMAP berries: Strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries bring the fruity flavor without turning your stomach into a mosh pit.

• Unsweetened peanut butter: Adds protein, healthy fats, and that delicious nutty taste. Make sure to use unsweetened, as added sugars can sometimes sneak in high-FODMAP ingredients.

Optional Boosters

• Chia seeds: Add some extra fiber and omega-3s, plus they make you feel fancy. Just remember to keep the serving to 1 tbsp to stay within low-FODMAP limits.

• Monk Fruit Sweetener: Adds a touch of sweetness without the sugar crash.

Tips for Making Your Low-FODMAP Smoothie Awesome

1. Blend, Taste, Adjust: If you like your smoothies sweeter, add a bit more Monk Fruit Sweetener or a tiny drizzle of maple syrup (up to 1 tbsp is low-FODMAP).

2. Get Creative with the Berries: Switch up the berry mix based on what you have. Stick to strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries to keep things low-FODMAP.
