Attack your day with this delicious, nutritious and low FODMAP protein smoothie which can also be used as a post workout recovery smoothie. I prefer to use NOW® Sports Eggwhite Protein Powder unflavored (to avoid Xylitol, which is in the flavored powders). If you can tolerate dairy I encourage you to try their whey protein powder as it is even better for muscle recovery because of the naturally occurring lactoglobulin, lactalbumin, immunoglobulins and glycomacro peptides which has been shown to enhance protein synthesis. Either way this protein smoothie will ensure a speedy recovery!

Recipe Notes
Create your own fruit smoothie with a combination of FODMAP friendly fruit such as: ¼ cup raspberries ¼ cup blueberries or a ½ cup applesauce with 1 tsp of cinnamon and ¼ tsp of nutmeg for an apple cinnamon smoothie! Either variety makes 1 serving.
