We are making the BEST smoothie recipe for IBS. We first discuss how each of these ingredients can support your body and then we’ll make the smoothie! This smoothie incorporates Low FODMAP produce including banana and spinach, fiber to aid in bowel formation, as well as cinnamon to act as an anti-spasmodic, reducing bowel spasms and cramping. We add in a potent dose of CBD oil, shown in research to reduce IBS symptoms. We finish off with a scoop of Naturally Nourished Grassfed Whey to provide a well-tolerated, easy to assimilate protein source that has the added bonus of gut supporting immunogolbulins, lactoferrin and glycomacropeptides. Let us know in the comments how it went for you.

1/2 frozen banana
2 handfuls of leafy greens (baby spinach or baby kale)
