Symptom Tolerance Scores
Instructions
- 1
Add the sliced banana, low-fat lactose-free milk, plain whey protein isolate, and plain low-fat yogurt to a blender.
- 2
Add the thinly sliced fresh ginger and rolled oats (if using) to the blender.
- 3
Blend on low speed for 15–20 seconds, then gradually increase to high speed and blend until completely smooth and creamy, about 45–60 seconds.
- 4
If you prefer a colder, thicker texture and your stomach tolerates cold drinks, add the ice cubes and blend again until smooth.
- 5
Let the smoothie sit for 2–3 minutes to allow bubbles to settle, then pour into small glasses.
- 6
Sip slowly over 10–20 minutes, stopping if you feel uncomfortably full or if nausea increases.
GLP-1 Tips
- If your nausea is strong, start with very small sips at refrigerator temperature (not ice-cold), as extreme temperatures and drinking too fast can worsen GLP-1–related nausea.
- You can reduce the ginger slightly if you are very sensitive, or steep the ginger slices in the milk for 5 minutes then remove them before blending for a milder flavor.
- If whey is hard to tolerate, swap for an unflavored, low-fat, easily dissolving plant protein isolate to keep protein high with minimal taste and smell.
Storage
Store any leftover smoothie in a sealed glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Shake or stir well before drinking, and consume in small portions as tolerated rather than all at once.
