You need something that's going to give it the creamy factor. All right. So if you had no FODMAP concerns, that could be an avocado. 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?

When it's closer to green, it's higher in resistant starch, which is actually really good for our gut bugs. And it's lower in FODMAPs. So that, to me, is a win when you get close to that. And again, you're going to be throwing this into a blender. So you're not going to be trying to bite some hard, unripe banana, right?

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. As opposed to a smoothie that you're going to drink, freeze your banana.

So take the banana out of the peel and put it into your freezer. And then when you're ready to make your smoothie, throw that in there. You will now have a smoothie bowl or an ice cream. We could also call it that instead of the smoothie. All right, now after this, like to me, greens should absolutely be a part of these smoothies. Why?

Because of the incredible amount of nutrient density, the unique properties that they have, the nitrates that are good for our blood pressure, and the fact that they're almost no calories. So it's like sprinkling nature's multivitamin into your smoothie without adding any additional calories to it. So I want the greens in there. You have many choices of what you prefer there.

And then we need some variety of berries. So like in our house, we will classically go with blueberries. If you're being mofadmap, you have to be a little bit careful because there's a certain number of blueberries that you can do. The alternative could be a different fruit. So we want something to give some sweetness. So like you could roll with pineapple or you could look at raspberries.

Like these are alternative choices that are available. Whatever is going to taste good for you. Um, so like, I don't believe in smoothies that are purely berry based or purely berry plus banana.

I kind of feel like that's a lost opportunity because if you're going to add all of that sweetness, but not include some vegetables in there, then you're sort of missing out on the chance to like make this more healthy and add more variety to it. And then other stuff that I like to put in there. So we always put broccoli sprouts into our smoothies.
