Low FODMAP Plantain & Tropical Fruit Smoothie Bowl.

Updated: May 17

I love anything pink, bright or colourful so really enjoyed making and eating this smoothie bowl! I opened an extra sweet mango a few days before so froze half of it...later I blended it with frozen kiwi, pink dragon fruit puree, strawberries and plantain. Very sweet tasting and sweet looking!


Frozen green plantains take the place of ripe, frozen banana's making this smoothie bowl FODMAP friendly; especially suited to those sensitive to fructose. Its also a good choice for those of us with Celiac disease, IBS, a wheat allergy or gluten sensitivity.


If you haven't tried raw plantain before I think you will be pleasantly surprised! Its firmer in texture than banana and less sweet (when green). Its gives a great texture and taste to smoothies.


I topped this smoothie bowl with various fruits including kiwi and prickly pear. I added some Nasturtium flowers which are big, bold and sooo beautiful! Surprisingly they do have a strong, peppery taste that works well in sweet smoothies.


What fruit will you choose to decorate your smoothie bowl? You can unleash your creativity with your own toppings. I've listed out a few FODMAP friendly topping options to get you started.


If you decide to give this recipe a go, please share your thoughts, pictures and recipe tweaks. Good luck!

 

FODMAP red, amber green rating reflects the total amount of Fructose (FTS), Lactose (L), Mannitol (M), Sorbitol (S), Galactooligosaccharide (GOS) and Oligos Fructans (FTA) in the TOTAL volume/weight of the ingredients used in the recipe.


This recipe makes approximately 1 large bowl or 2 medium bowls (medium bowl pictured) of smoothie.


I'm a big fan of simple recipes that don't need fancy equipment. For this recipe it does help to have a good blender.
