Low Histamine Breakfast Smoothie

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.

How To Make Low Histamine Breakfast Smoothie:

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.

Step 5 – Serve: Pour into a large glass, garnish with extra seeds or fresh fruit if desired.

Recipe Tips:

• Use freshly frozen fruit to keep histamine low.
• Avoid overripe fruit, which can be higher in histamine.
• Drink immediately after blending — histamine rises with storage.
• For a thicker smoothie, add a few ice cubes.

How to Store & Reheat:

• Room Temperature: Drink immediately after blending.
• Fridge: Store in airtight jar up to 12 hours; shake before drinking.
• Freezer: Freeze up to 1 month; thaw in fridge overnight before blending again.
