Here's a Simple Berry Smoothie, easy to make and with simple clean ingredients to be easy on the body. Deliciously creamy, naturally tart-sweet. A variation on my Berry Bliss Superfood Smoothie, this is the one I use when detoxifying.
Choose one or any combination of frozen (or fresh) berries for this smoothie. If low-FODMAP, choose a combination of blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries. If not low-FODMAP, you can add blackberries or frozen cherries which are a nice mix-in that go great with the tartness of the yogurt.
We add a tablespoon of LSA (ground linseed, sunflower and almonds) to this smoothie, which gives it wonderful creamy nutty flavor as well as body and additional protein and fiber and antioxidants.
When choosing protein powders for this smoothie, go for single-ingredient powders, such as pure hempseed protein, or pure pea protein. Make sure there are no extra ingredients that you don't recognize.
Same goes for choosing a plant-based yogurt. Many of them include gum additives, which can cause inflammation in some individuals. Look for yogurt without dairy, without any gums, and without added sugars. Cocojune is one of the best that I've found in my region, with only 4 ingredients. Tapioca is a natural thickener and preferable to gums. Added probiotics are fine and generally, that's what we're looking for in yogurt.
