The FODMAP Everyday Low FODMAP Green Kiwi Smoothie

The kiwi can add tartness or sweetness, depending on its ripeness – the riper it is, the sweeter it will be and consequently the sweeter your smoothie will be, too.

I Tried Green Smoothies Before And…
Listen, not all green smoothies are created equal. We know that some are very green and bitter. Note that we give you a choice between using kale and spinach for the leafy green component.

Kale will give you a stronger flavor, that might be an acquired taste for some.

Spinach is milder and might be your best bet if you know you like a less bold green taste or if you are just delving into the world of green smoothies. And, our inclusion of grapes and kiwi keep our green smoothie well balanced.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 cup (170 g) seedless green grapes
• 1 kiwi, peeled and cut into chunks
• 2 tablespoons water
• 8- inches (20 cm) of unpeeled English, hothouse style cucumber, cut into chunks
• 2 cups (40 g) baby spinach, (for a milder taste) or chopped stemmed, washed and dried Lacinato kale leaves (for a bolder taste) or a combo
• 1 1/2 to 2 cups ice cubes

PREPARATION:

• Place all the items in blender in order listed - except the ice. Pulse on an off to begin blending, then blend on high speed until puréed, blended and smooth. Add the smaller amount of ice cubes and blend until frosty, pulsing on and off. Add more ice cubes if desired. Serve immediately as it separates upon sitting. It will still be good, just not as pretty.
