I usually make a smoothie every morning. I find it doesnt fill me up too much and make me feel bloated for the rest of the day. I have used almond milk in my recipe below which makes smoothies a bit creamier but I am finding anything to do with almonds (almond milk, almond meal, raw almonds etc.) really bloates my tummy. So I am going to go back to just using water in my smoothie or try rice milk I think, just to see how it may differ from using almond milk ... I have also found using coconut milk will really make my stomach swell up and I will feel really uncomfortable for the rest of the day ... I have since read that coconut milk is high in fat which isn't good for someone with IBS as it doesnt digest through the intestines very well... If you can tolerate cocunut milk then by all means use it in this recipe :)
Recipe:
Half a banana (I tend to freeze my bananas so they make my smoothie a bit thicker)
Half a kiwi fruit (I am obsessed with gold kiwi fruit at the moment)
1/2 to 1 cup of almond milk unsweetened or water as I will be trying
Desert spoon of physillim husks
1 tspn of raw cacao powder
1 tablspn soft brown sugar or a desert spoon of rice malt syrup
1 tspn of bee pollen
3 - 4 ice blocks
Put everything in your blender and blend away! Delicious!
