Benefits of the Low-FODMAP Smoothie

The Low-FODMAP diet removes certain foods that cause bloating from the diet, allowing gut healing to happen — before the same foods are reintroduced one by one. (Bloating happens because certain foods ferment in the gut.)

So — this smoothie contains none of those inflammatory foods.

Instead, enjoy a sweet treat and gentle digestion.

Ingredients in Low-FODMAP Tropical Berry Smoothie

The combination of pineapple (OR melon if it’s better for your body), lemon and ginger sets this recipe apart from all others. These flavors are super captivating and satisfying. Then, depending on your preference or dietary needs, you’ll also use frozen berries — either strawberries or raspberries.

Here’s the full list of ingredients:

frozen pineapple — OR melon if preferred/sensitive to pineapple
milk of choice (coconut or tiger nut are good choices for AIP); OR, you may use water if you can’t have either; Homemade Macadamia Nut Milk is a great choice for Paleo, GAPS and Vegan; organic rice milk is okay for non-Paleo; see the Notes section below the main recipe for all milk options.
frozen berries — strawberries or raspberries: Take note that raspberries do have noticeable seeds, so not everyone likes them in their smoothies. I find they’re fine in this one, but not if you have a strong aversion.
fresh lemon juice
fresh ginger
maple syrup — Or you may omit the sweetener for GAPS; otherwise, it’s recommended to heighten the flavors and counterbalance the fresh lemon juice
optional sea salt — heightens flavors and adds electrolytes for rehydration

How to make Low-FODMAP Tropical Smoothie

One step is good to keep in mind before making your smoothie, depending on how you prep or buy your ingredients:

This recipe uses frozen pineapple or melon. Do you want to freeze your own, or buy it already frozen? Personally, I like to freeze my own when fresh is available at the grocery store, because it saves a lot of money. (Little bags of frozen organic pineapple are pricey!) If you plan to freeze your own, plan ahead — so your frozen fruit is ready when you need it.

Allow about 3 hours minimum for freezing small chunks of fruit.

Once all your ingredients are lined up and ready, the How-to for this recipe is just: throw everything in the blender, and purée!

If your smoothie is extra thick, you may also need the tamper that some blenders come with, or a wooden spoon or spatula, to stop, and mix/stir the ingredients once during blending — in case any air pockets form down by the blade.

Which blender is best for thick smoothies

I’ve used a lot of blenders over the years because we used to own a café with homemade ice cream, smoothies and soups. We worked those machines hard.

The best machine to get the smoothest results is: Blendtec’s blender with the WildSide+ Jar.

In second place, still a very good blender is this Vitamix model, but with the tamper.
