날짜:

 


A soothing start to your day, or a calm and easy snack 🥤

Hello dear readers 😊

If you or your loved one is living with Crohn’s Disease, I know how hard it can be to find foods that don’t upset your system. That’s why today, I’m sharing 4 easy-to-digest smoothies that are soft, gentle, and anti-inflammatory — perfect for breakfast, a light meal, or an afternoon pick-me-up.


🥑 1. Banana Avocado Smoothie



🛒 Ingredients

  • 1 ripe banana

  • 1/2 avocado

  • 200ml unsweetened soy milk or lactose-free milk

  • 1 tsp honey (optional)

🍳 How to make

  1. Cut the banana and avocado into chunks.

  2. Blend with milk until smooth.

  3. Add more liquid if needed for a thinner texture.

💡 Tips

  • Avocado is rich in healthy fats that support gut lining repair.

  • Use lactose-free milk to avoid dairy-related flare-ups.

🍠 2. Sweet Potato Soy Smoothie



🛒 Ingredients

  • 1/2 cooked sweet potato (skin removed)

  • 200ml unsweetened soy milk

  • 1/2 banana (optional, for sweetness)

  • Pinch of cinnamon (optional)

🍳 How to make

  1. Steam or boil sweet potato until soft.

  2. Blend with milk and banana until creamy.

  3. Sprinkle cinnamon if desired.

💡 Tips

  • Cooking sweet potatoes softens fiber, making it easier to digest.

  • Lukewarm or cold smoothies are usually gentler than hot or icy ones.

🍎 3. Apple Oatmeal Smoothie



🛒 Ingredients

  • 1/2 peeled, steamed apple

  • 2 tbsp cooked oatmeal

  • 200ml unsweetened almond milk

  • Dash of cinnamon (optional)

🍳 How to make

  1. Steam the apple and cook oats separately.

  2. Blend everything together until smooth.

💡 Tips

  • Raw apples can be too fibrous; steaming makes them easier to handle.

  • Oats help reduce inflammation and support gut health.

🥜 4. Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie (Soft & Sweet)



🛒 Ingredients

  • 1 banana

  • 200ml unsweetened soy or lactose-free milk

  • 1 tsp unsalted peanut butter

🍳 How to make

  1. Blend all ingredients until creamy and smooth.

  2. Optionally, use a lightly steamed banana for extra softness.

💡 Tips

  • Use unsalted peanut butter for lower sodium.

  • If peanut allergy is a concern, try almond butter instead.

🧊 Storage Notes

  • Best consumed fresh, but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours.

  • Freezing is not recommended, as texture and nutrients may degrade.

  • Pro tip: Prep ingredients in freezer-safe smoothie packs (minus the liquid) for quick morning blending!
