Gut Soothing Pumpkin and Turmeric Smoothie by The FODMAP Friendly Vegan

Gut Soothing Pumpkin & Turmeric Smoothie | WholeLife

 This recipe is a guest post in collaboration with Sharon from The FODMAP Friendly Vegan (@thefodmapfriendlyvegan on Instagram) as part of our FODMAP friendly foods feature for this month.  

This delicious recipe is the product of a culinary experiment. I had some pumpkin puree left over and decided to experiment with it in a smoothie! I was incredibly impressed with the thick, creamy flavour profile with the end result. So, if you find yourself with any cooked pumpkin leftovers blitz them up into a smoothie for a delicious snack! It’s a great way to sneak some veg into the little one’s diets too.

Pumpkin is loaded with fibre which is very important while following a low FODMAP diet, which can result in reduced fibre intake if not carefully monitored. This smoothie combines the sweetness of the pumpkin and banana with turmeric, a bright yellow spice that contains the powerful curcumin compound. Curcumin has numerous health benefits including decreasing inflammation, reducing oxidative damage, and improving brain function. I got most of my ingredients for this dish from my friends WholeLife  – supporting local has never been more important post COVID-19 and I love that I can get all my goodies from the one place with these guys!
