It’s so easy to make this yummy anti-inflammatory low FODMAP smoothie! Here’s what you’ll need to make the perfect breakfast smoothie or a nourishing snack…
Anti-Inflammatory Low-FODMAP Ingredients
*Milk*
Lactose-free milk or any variety of low FODMAP non-dairy milks such as almond milk, macadamia milk, quinoa milk, rice milk, or soy milk made w/ soy protein extract instead of whole soy beans. (Note: I don’t suggest coconut milk in this recipe because it’s high FODMAP at the recommended portion size.)
Leafy Greens
I like this low FODMAP smoothie with kale, but it would be delicious with arugula, beet greens, collard greens, Swiss chard, or spinach.
Low FODMAP Fruit
Make this with a fresh orange and pineapple. You could also try it with a tangerine or kiwi fruit. Yum!
Ginger
Choose fresh ginger root or ground ginger powder.
Ice Cubes
To make your low FODMAP smoothie extra cold and frosty!
Optional Sweetener
When you use fresh juicy pineapple, no additional sweetener is needed. But, if you prefer your low FODMAP smoothie on the sweeter side, add a drizzle of pure maple syrup
Optional Ingredients & Nutrition Boosters
Almond butter (1 tablespoon), Unripe banana (for a source of gut friendly resistant starch); Chia Seeds, Hemp Seeds, Low FODMAP Protein Powder (see options below), Lactose Free Yoghurt, Lemon Juice, Orange, Lime, or Lemon Zest, Peanut Butter, Unsweetened Shredded Coconut

Low FODMAP Smoothie Health & Nutrition Benefits
1. Fresh pineapple offers a natural source of bromelain which aids in digestion and helps puts the kabosh on inflammation, along with the grated ginger, another terrific anti-inflammatory.
2. The orange provides a nice dose of vitamin C to help promote optimal immunity. (Get my Nutrition for Optimal Immunity Guidebook & Meal Plan!)
3. It’s high in low FODMAP fiber to boost your gut microbiome and good bacteria.
4. Kale and other leafy greens are great for overall health (16 Leafy Greens Recipes You’ll Love + 5 Reasons to Eat ‘Em); for boosting brain health (How to Boost Your Brain Health w/ a Delicious MIND Diet Meal Plan); and for skin health (Delicious Detox Recipes and Foods to Keep Your Skin Glowing all Year Long).
