Symptom Tolerance Scores
Instructions
- 1
Add the unsweetened almond milk to a blender jug first to help the blades turn smoothly.
- 2
Spoon in the greek yogurt, then add the vanilla whey protein powder, frozen banana slices, almond butter, and ground flaxseed if using.
- 3
Top with ice cubes if you prefer a colder, thicker smoothie that can be sipped slowly.
- 4
Blend on low speed for 20–30 seconds, then increase to high and blend until completely smooth and creamy, pausing to scrape down the sides if needed.
- 5
Taste and, if it feels too thick on your stomach, add a small splash of extra almond milk and blend again until it reaches an easy-to-sip consistency.
- 6
Pour into two small glasses; sip slowly over 10–20 minutes, stopping as soon as you feel comfortably full.
GLP-1 Tips
- If your appetite is very low, start with half a serving and keep the rest in the fridge; even a few slow sips provide concentrated protein and calories without a strong smell or heavy volume.
- Drink this smoothie cold and slowly, as very cold, mild-flavored liquids are often better tolerated on GLP-1 medications when appetite is low.
- If you feel full quickly, set the glass down between sips; finishing over 20–30 minutes can be easier on your stomach than trying to drink it all at once.
Storage
Store any leftover smoothie in a sealed jar or bottle in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Shake well before drinking, and add a splash of almond milk if it thickens while chilled.
