Symptom Tolerance Scores
Instructions
- 1
Add the water, greek yogurt, protein powder, and grated ginger to a blender jar so the ginger blends smoothly and does not leave strong chunks that could bother a sensitive stomach.
- 2
Add the banana slices and rolled oats (if using) on top of the liquids, then add the ice cubes if you prefer a colder, thicker smoothie.
- 3
Blend on low speed for 15–20 seconds, then gradually increase to high speed and blend for another 30–45 seconds until completely smooth and creamy with no visible ginger or oat pieces.
- 4
Pause and check the thickness; if it feels too heavy for your stomach, add 30–50 ml more water and blend again briefly until it reaches a light, sippable consistency.
- 5
Pour into two small glasses, let sit for 2–3 minutes to allow bubbles to settle (this can reduce bloating and nausea), then sip slowly over 10–20 minutes.
GLP-1 Tips
- If your nausea is strong, start with half a serving and sip slowly; the ginger can help settle your stomach while the protein supports muscle and nutrient needs on GLP-1 medications.
- Use room-temperature water instead of very cold water if extreme cold worsens your nausea, and reduce the ginger slightly if you are very sensitive to spicy flavors.
Storage
Store any leftover smoothie in a sealed jar or bottle in the refrigerator for up to 12 hours. Shake well before drinking, and add a splash of water if it thickens too much. If nausea is severe, make a fresh half-batch instead of storing leftovers.
