Low-Fodmap smoothie ideas

Oh hey, smoothie lovers! Are you like me, who loves a sweet morning ritual? riiight?

I’m a BIG fan of breakfast, and I’m that kind of person that goes to bed at night thinking about my morning menu (for real). In the past few weeks, If you follow my life adventures on Instagram, you’ve seen how I introduced a low-fodmap lifestyle in an effort of relieving my IBS and GERD symptoms. 

And today, in partnership with our KitchenAid friends, I’ll show you how you can start your mornings like a champion, explain you a bit more about low-fodmap (most of you had many questions about it), and show you that with creative recipes and an epic blender like the new KitchenAid K400 blender who blends even the toughest ingredients with ease, in seconds, you’ll be super excited about this low-fodmap life.

We’ll master in minutes three smoothie recipes: Mango, pineapple turmeric, Green smoothie and Orange cream – all gluten free and low-fodmap.

The changes I did and what’s all about low-fodmap

FODMAPs are a group of poorly (and I want to bold this) absorbed fermentable carbohydrates that are present in many, many things I used to eat, hurting my healthy gut, a lot. Since my doctor detected my condition, he asked me to start a low-fodmap lifestyle, including avoiding: gluten, stone fruits such as apples, cherries, cauliflower, beans, fructose, garlic, onions, honey, corn syrup, soft cheeses, dairy and many others.

In all honesty, it isn’t that hard! At first, I felt a bit intimidated reading everything I needed to avoid and the ones I had to limit,  feeling so relieved just after a few days in. There’s an initial elimination diet (of about 4 weeks) where we limit all the triggers and re-introduce them slowly to see what are the ones our poor gut can’t process. The three smoothies you’ll learn how to make today, are fully tested and low-fodmap!

My favourite tool to use in my morning ritual

Am I the only one who thinks an epic blender is my bestie? I didn’t think so! Discovering the new KitchenAid 2021 Colour of the year, Honey – appliances, as the K400 blender, – was all I needed to be happier, and I can’t even explain how much I love this blender: the sleek, durable, high quality KitchenAid design, the power of the blade that gives incredibly smooth results on tough ingredients, from kale to almonds, seeds and more, for smooth, great tasting creations, and the 3 preset recipe programs: Ice crush, icy drinks, and smoothie that I adored!

While most people only have room for a few small appliances on their kitchen counter,  it totally doesn’t mean that we don’t want KitchenAid products in every color of the rainbow, including the 2021 colour of the year: Honey.

We are SO lucky we’ll be able to get two exclusive appliances in this tone: the K400 blender and the Artisan® Series 5 Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer. Now, let’s scroll down and learn how to make these beautiful, yummy and healthy smoothies.
