Made with a ripe banana, unsweetened almond milk, and low-FODMAP-certified vanilla protein powder, this recipe is a gut-friendly powerhouse that fuels your body while keeping your digestive system happy. Chia seeds add a boost of fiber and omega-3s, while unsweetened almond butter delivers rich nuttiness and healthy fats. With just 5 minutes of prep and no cooking required, this quick and easy smoothie is perfect for busy mornings or post-workout recovery. Optional maple syrup lets you adjust sweetness to your liking, though the bananaβs natural sweetness often does the trick.

Peel the ripe banana and break it into smaller chunks for easy blending.
In a blender, combine the banana, unsweetened almond milk, vanilla protein powder, chia seeds, almond butter, and ice cubes.
If desired, add maple syrup for extra sweetness, but keep in mind that bananas already provide natural sweetness.
Blend all ingredients on high speed for 1-2 minutes or until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Pour the smoothie into a glass and serve immediately. Enjoy your IBS-safe banana protein smoothie!
