Smoothies for Gastroparesis

Smoothies are such a great thing to consume for those with Gastroparesis. 

They are a quick & easy way to “Eat” when you don’t have the energy physically, or mentally, to figure out what you can eat that won’t bother your stomach more than it already is. 

They are also a great way to get the desperately needed protein and fats that are often missing in the typical diet that those with Gastroparesis follow. 

If you have been following the diets that are given by a dietitian or your doctor, I can guarantee you they aren’t beneficial to you at all. At least, not the ones I was given and have seen in the last few years. 

We can talk more about how to get even more recipes and help in just a moment, but let’s get to why we are here today… the 3 Smoothie Recipes for Gastroparesis.

The Recipes

Blueberry coconut smoothie

  • 1 cup Coconut Water

  • 1 cup Frozen Blueberries

  • 1/4 cup Frozen Banana

  • 1/4 cup Plain Greek Yogurt

  • 1/4 cup Vanilla Protein Powder

Pineapple Lime Smoothie 

  • 2/3 cup Coconut Milk

  • 2/3 cup Frozen Pineapple

  • 1 tsp Honey

  • ½ Lime (juiced, zested)

Orange, Carrot, Turmeric Smoothie 

  • 1 Navel Orange (small, peeled)

  • 1 Carrot (small, peeled, chopped)

  • 1/2 cup Plain Greek Yogurt

  • 1/4 tsp Turmeric

  • 1 scoop Unflavored Collagen Powder

For all smoothies, just blend thoroughly and enjoy!

When it comes to smoothies, you can have as much or as little as you can tolerate at once. Remember, everyone is different.

What you’ll notice with these recipes is that they are SIMPLE. Not too many ingredients and every single one of them focus on getting you protein in ways that you can easily digest. 

They also focus on providing you with natural digestive enzymes to help your body digest more effectively than it normally does. 

Where to Get More Like This

I try to always provide different ways to get recipes that are easy for those with Gastroparesis to get and try out. It can be hard, because everyone has such different tolerance levels for foods, but I try to make as wide of a variety as possible.

My clients get personalized recipes based on their needs. Those on my emails get weekly recipes of all different types and varying levels of liquids and solids. 

You get lots of recipes during the Free Challenges I run every few months and those are great ways to get more information on why each recipe works with your Gastroparesis.

I have 2 ebooks that have lots of recipes and guides to follow. You can find those here.

There was also a previous Smoothie Recipes for Gastroparesis Blog you can see here. 

But, I figured it was time to do a new one.

As a reminder, these smoothies alone aren’t going to be the magic pill to help your Gastroparesis, but they provide you nutrition and make it easy with a condition that can be very complicated to manage. 

I hope you get to try them out and let me know how they worked for you.
