Are you ready to take on a 7-Day Smoothie Challenge?

I put this post together because smoothies have been an easy way for me to incorporate all things during my gut-healing journey, and I want to share them with you.

Also, it’s so easy to add gut healing boosts to smoothies HERE. Seriously. Easy, peasy, squeezy. One that I almost always add is the L-Glutamine.

Just grab your 7-day smoothie challenge ingredients, and then get to making something delicious.

By the way, I put this 7-Day Smoothie Challenge together for you for free.

Now, if you’re ready to grab the recipes, dig in.

Thick ‘n Creamy Blueberry Manna Smoothie

Special notes for my Gutsy friends:

• Almost everyone will be able to enjoy this recipe, as it’s gluten, grain, dairy, and soy free + Vegan and Paleo.
• It’s also fairly low-FODMAP, but if you’re SIBO is active, you may not be able to drink the full thing in one sitting. 2 Tbsp of the Coconut Manna could aggravate your symptoms. Either reduce that to 1 Tbsp or only drink half the smoothie.

Low-FODMAP Berry-licious Hemp Smoothie

Special notes for my Gutsy friends:

• If you have SIBO and it’s active, you will need to use a less-ripened banana. Ripe bananas sometimes are aggravating. They never have been for me, but they technically are high-FODMAP.
• Why do I use so much hemp? Because I believe that hemp is good for gut healing. It’s also delish.

Boosted Green Smoothie

Special notes for my Gutsy friends:

• You can make this recipe low-FODMAP simply by removing the avocado. If you need more thickness once you remove it, use a whole banana. If your SIBO is alive and active, just make sure it’s an un-ripened banana.
• I didn’t need anymore sweetness to this recipe because I was trying to keep it low sugar, but if you do, simply add a Tablespoon maple syrup or honey (if you don’t need it to be low-FODMAP and/or you aren’t Vegan). Alternatively, you can use monk fruit, which is something I always have on hand.

Creamy Mint-Chip Smoothie

Special notes for my Gutsy friends:

• The avocado is a fairly important ingredient in this one, so if you cannot do FODMAPs, you might want to skip this one altogether. If you really want to try it, lower the avocado amount and add more spinach + banana.
• This recipe was one I need that was part of a post for Nutiva and Stasher Bag called, “4 Simple Smoothie Prep Recipes.” The premise is that it’s easy to prep all your smoothies beforehand, stick the ingredients in a Stasher Bag in the freezer, and pull out whenever you want to make a smoothie for a quick grab-n-go. If you don’t have a Stasher Bag, just proceed about making this smoothie like normal. However, if you do want to grab some Stasher Bags, all of these smoothies could be prepped ahead of time to make this ultra easy.

Raspberry Muffin Smoothie

Special notes for my Gutsy friends:

• Even if you have active SIBO, this recipe could be just fine for you. I already know what you’re thinking, “But what about the Milked Oats and old fashioned oats?”
  • Oat Milk is low-FODMAP for up to 125 ml (about 1/2 cup). Therefore, your choices are: only drink a little less than half the smoothie in one sitting or use 1/2 cup Milked Oats and 1 cup of something else. For this recipe I’d recommend the Milked Walnuts or a full-fat coconut milk. 
  • Raw, rolled oats are actually low-FODMAP.

Strawberry Vanilla Smoothie

Special notes for my Gutsy friends:

• I understand that cauliflower can be super aggravating. If you tolerate it, please keep it in this smoothie. I never believed the hyped on adding frozen cauliflower to smoothies for the nutritional boost and thickening agent, but now I get it.
• If you can’t do cauliflower (it is high-FODMAP), I would suggest swapping in frozen banana and hempseed, both of which will give that thick, creamy consistency. You could try 1/2 cup banana and 2 Tbsp hempseed.

Summer Refresher Smoothie

Special notes for my Gutsy friends:

• This recipe is full of FODMAPs, and you will not be able to outrun that. If you can’t do FODMAPs, skip today and enjoy the bonus recipe below 🙂
• If you’re looking for more summer eats and treats, I have them HERE or you can it free with your copy of The Gutsy Girl’s Bible: an approach to healing the gut.

I promised a BONUS recipe, and this is the best one ever. Grab the bonus recipe HERE. Just eat it every single day. No shame in your game.

I hope you love these smoothies, and enjoy the 7-day smoothie challenge. I didn’t set the smoothies to specific days, but if you want a schedule, just start at the top (on Monday) and work your way down. 

I’d love to see what you create during your 7-day smoothie challenge, any extra gut-healing boosts you add, and which one(s) are your favorites. Share them on the Facebook event page or tag me on Instagram using @agutsygirl and/or #AGutsyGirl when you upload a photo.
