When you do have FODMAP concerns, then many times a banana would be the way to go. You still need to be conscious and aware of the banana. Is it brown or is it closer to green?

And it's still going to blend well, assuming that you have a nice blender, like, you know, whether that be a Vitamix or a Beast or something like this. Okay. So you want something that's going to give it the creamy. I usually go with banana. If you wanted to make this a smoothie bowl, here's a little hack.
