Here’s 3 low FODMAP smoothie recipes that are perfect for weekly meal prep. They’re also gluten free, dairy free, with no banana in sight…
My 3 low FODMAP smoothie recipes are the ultimate midday pick me up. You can easily meal prep all of your frozen fruit ahead of time, place it in a zip-lock bag and then pop it in the freezer. Then whenever you fancy one, it’s just a matter of adding the contents to a blender, adding dairy free milk/any extras and you’ve got a healthy, fresh smoothie. Boom!
Before you ask, no I don’t have a vendetta against bananas! Yet none of my low FODMAP smoothie recipes contain any bananas… why on Earth is that then?! Well, there’s a few reasons, so let me explain…
Well firstly, some people just aren’t banana fans and all of my other smoothie recipes almost always contain bananas. It’s such a versatile ingredient in a smoothie, it thickens the mixture perfectly and its taste is pretty mild so it goes with everything. But because like 90% of smoothie recipes contain bananas, I know it can be very frustrating trying to find ones that don’t! A lot of people have asked me to make no banana smoothie recipes, so here’s 3!
Secondly and most importantly for me, as of May this year, a ripe banana is now classed as high FODMAP. Don’t ask me why, but I trust the guys at Monash! After some retesting, they’ve confirmed that a ripe banana isn’t ideal for people following a low FODMAP diet. It was a very sad day for me when I found this out!
I wasn’t sure if it was even possible to make 3 low FODMAP smoothie recipes that were actually as good as their banana-containing-counterparts! I guess you’ll have to be the judge of that!
But, looking on the bright side, I saw this as somewhat of a challenge. So I decided to make not 1, but 3 low FODMAP smoothie recipes that are fit for your weekly meal prep. Just simply place all the frozen fruit in a zip-lock bag and pop into the freezer for up to 3 months.
Then, whenever you want a fresh smoothie, just pop the contents of the bag into the blender, add the extras (like dairy free milk etc) and you’ve got bags of smoothie perfection on demand!
Here’s my 3 low FODMAP smoothie recipes…
Berry Belly Friendly Smoothie
This is the ultimate belly friendly smoothie out of all my low FODMAP smoothie recipes and it’s full of frozen berry power! It’s belly friendly not just because it’s low FODMAP, but also because it has pineapple (awesome digestive enzymes) and gentle fibre from the optional flaxseed. Delicious and nutritious!
Simply add the flaxseed, peanut butter and dairy free milk along with your frozen fruit whenever you crave a Berry Belly Friendly Smoothie.

Notes
Thanks so much for checking out my 3 low FODMAP smoothie recipes with absolutely zero banana in sight. Don’t forget to check out my vlog (coming soon!) if you wanna see me throw one together. If you’ve never tried meal prepping smoothie bags for the week, then you really have to give it a try! I know plastic bags aren’t exactly environmentally friendly, so any suggestions of an alternative that will fit in my (very small and very often full) freezer are more than welcome.
