This gut-friendly smoothie swaps high-histamine banana and yogurt for pear and coconut yogurt. Chia and hemp seeds provide omega fats and fiber, while frozen berries and mango bring natural sweetness. It’s trigger-free and made with only fresh or freshly frozen ingredients to keep histamine levels low.
Ingredients Needed:
- ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk – or macadamia milk.
- 1 cup frozen pear chunks – or papaya.
- 1 ½ cups frozen fruit – blueberries, mango, pineapple (freshly frozen at home if possible).
- 1 tbsp blanched almond butter – or macadamia butter.
- 1 tbsp chia seeds – or hemp hearts.
- 1 scoop pure rice or hemp protein – additive-free.
- 1 tsp maple syrup – optional, for sweetness.

Step 1 – Add Liquid: Pour almond milk into blender.
Step 2 – Add Fruit: Add pear and frozen berries/mango.
Step 3 – Add Boosters: Add almond butter, chia seeds, and protein powder.
Step 4 – Blend: Start on low speed, increase to high until smooth. Add extra milk if needed.
