Symptom Tolerance Scores
Instructions
- 1
Add the water to the blender jug first to help everything blend smoothly.
- 2
Add the greek yogurt, sliced banana, protein powder, grated ginger, and rolled oats (if using) to the blender.
- 3
Blend on low speed for 20–30 seconds, then increase to high speed and blend until completely smooth and creamy, about 45–60 seconds; add ice cubes if you want it colder and blend again briefly.
- 4
Pause and let the smoothie sit for 1–2 minutes to allow any foam to settle, then taste and add a small splash of extra water if it feels too thick for your stomach.
- 5
Pour into small glasses, sipping slowly over 10–20 minutes to avoid overfilling your stomach while on GLP-1 medication.
GLP-1 Tips
- If your nausea is strong, start with half a serving, use room-temperature ingredients instead of very cold ones, and reduce the ginger slightly until you know how your stomach responds.
- Choose an unflavored or mildly vanilla protein powder without strong sweeteners or added flavors to keep the smell and taste gentle.
- If dairy is hard to tolerate, swap the greek yogurt for a lactose-free or soy-based yogurt with at least 8–10 g protein per 100 g to keep the protein content high.
Storage
Store any leftover smoothie in a sealed jar or bottle in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Shake well before drinking, and if it thickens in the fridge, loosen with a little cold water until it reaches a gentle, sip-able consistency.
