Symptom Tolerance Scores
Instructions
- 1
Add the kefir and cold water to a blender first to create a liquid base.
- 2
Add the prunes, ground flaxseed, whey protein powder, and baby spinach (if using) on top of the liquids.
- 3
Blend on low speed for 20–30 seconds, then increase to high speed and blend until completely smooth and the flax is well dispersed.
- 4
Let the smoothie sit for 3–5 minutes to allow the flax to begin absorbing liquid and thickening slightly, then blend briefly again and pour into two small glasses.
- 5
Sip slowly over 10–15 minutes, stopping when comfortably full; you can add a splash of extra water if it feels too thick.
GLP-1 Tips
- If you are very sensitive to fiber on GLP-1 medication, start with half the flaxseed and half the prunes, drink slowly with extra water on the side, and increase the amounts over several days as your gut adjusts.
- Using chilled kefir and cold water keeps the flavor mild and the smell low, which can be easier to tolerate if you also experience nausea on GLP-1 therapy.
Storage
Store any leftover smoothie in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; shake or stir well before drinking, and add a little extra water if it thickens as it sits.
