Low FODMAP Smoothie Recipes: 10 Gut-Friendly Blends That Actually Taste Good
By Dr. Onikepe Adegbola, MD PhD — Johns Hopkins-trained physician-scientist
Smoothies should be the perfect IBS meal — easy to digest, nutrient-dense, customizable. But most smoothie recipes are FODMAP disasters: mango, apple, honey, agave, milk, protein bars, and "superfood" powders with inulin/chicory root. Here are 10 recipes that are genuinely safe.
Key Takeaways
- Safe fruits: strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, kiwi, pineapple, oranges, firm banana (1/3)
- Use lactose-free milk, oat milk, or almond milk as your liquid base
- Add low FODMAP protein powder for sustained energy
- AVOID: mango, apple, pear, watermelon, honey, agave, regular milk, protein bars with inulin
