Symptom Tolerance Scores
Instructions
- 1
In a small bowl, whisk the low fat plain greek yogurt with the water until it becomes slightly thinner and very smooth, adjusting with a little extra water if you prefer a more drinkable consistency.
- 2
Stir the very finely grated fresh ginger and lemon juice into the yogurt mixture, mixing well so the ginger is evenly distributed and no larger fibrous pieces remain.
- 3
Gently fold the slightly cooled, soft cooked white rice into the yogurt mixture until the grains are coated but not mashed; taste and add the honey if you want a mild sweetness that is still easy on the stomach.
- 4
Divide the mixture evenly into two small cups or bowls and, if tolerated, top each with a few very thin banana slices for extra softness and mild flavor.
- 5
Chill the cups in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to further soften the rice and keep the aroma mild before eating slowly in small spoonfuls.
GLP-1 Tips
- If your nausea is strong, start with just a few spoonfuls and keep the snack very cold, as cooler foods tend to have less smell and are often better tolerated on GLP-1 medications.
- You can reduce the ginger to half the amount if you are very sensitive to flavors, then gradually increase as tolerated for more anti-nausea benefit.
Storage
Cover the cups tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; stir gently before eating and discard if the yogurt separates excessively or the smell becomes sour.
