Symptom Tolerance Scores
Instructions
- 1
Add the chilled milk and greek yogurt to a blender first to create a liquid base that blends smoothly and is gentle on the stomach.
- 2
Add the rolled oats and ground flaxseed, then let them sit in the liquid for 3–5 minutes to soften for easier digestion.
- 3
Add the baby spinach, sliced banana, whey protein powder, and cocoa powder on top of the softened oats.
- 4
Blend on low for 20–30 seconds, then increase to high and blend until completely smooth and creamy, adding a little extra milk or cold water (10–20 ml at a time) if the texture feels too thick.
- 5
Taste and, if needed, add a small amount of non-caloric sweetener, then blend briefly again.
- 6
Pour into two small glasses; sip slowly over 10–15 minutes to reduce nausea risk and support steady energy.
GLP-1 Tips
- If your stomach feels sensitive on GLP-1 medication, drink this smoothie slowly and well-chilled, and consider using half the oats at first to see how your digestion and energy respond.
- Prepare the smoothie in the morning and keep half in the fridge so you can have a second small portion later instead of forcing a larger serving at once.
- If dairy is hard to tolerate, use a lactose-free or soy-based high-protein yogurt and milk alternative to keep protein high while staying gentle on digestion.
Storage
Store any leftover smoothie in a sealed glass jar or bottle in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Shake well before drinking, and add a splash of cold water or milk if it thickens while chilling.
