Chocolate Orange Smoothie (Low FODMAP, GF, Vegan)

April 9, 2017 By Riley Leave a Comment

Where are my fellow CHOCOLATE + FRUIT lovers?

For those with food sensitivities or digestive disorders (or just care about your health!), you will be glad to know that this recipe is low FODMAP, dairy-free, gluten-free, soy-free, contains no added sugars, and is made with real food ingredients.

Low FODMAP Chocolate Orange Smoothie

 

The chocolate + fruit combo seems to be something that people either love or despise.  I am definitely on the love train.  I mean…it’s CHOCOLATE! How can you not love it??  But..I guess I’ll forgive you if you don’t.

For those who do love the combo, I’ve created a smoothie recipe that is sure to please!  It makes the perfect breakfast or snack as it’s got protein, leafy greens, and lots of vitamin C.  Plus, it’s super quick and easy to whip up!

I am all about quick & easy for breakfast because mornings are my most productive time.  I like to get to work as early as possible (while still getting plenty of beauty sleep!) so that I can make the most of my most productive hours.  So that means the longer I spend lounging around or making a a drawn-out breakfast, the less that gets done.  And that, my friends, is not something I like.

Health Benefits of Oranges

Let’s talk about the health benefits of oranges for a moment.  I’m sure you know that they are an excellent source of vitamin C, but did you know that 1 medium orange also supplies the following in regard to the FDA’s recommended daily values (DV):

  • Folate = 12% DV
  • Vitamin A = 7% DV
  • Calcium = 6% DV
  • Vitamin B6 = 5% DV
  • Magnesium = 4% DV
  • Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) = 6% DV
  • Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) = 4% DV
  • Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid) = 4% DV
  • Phosphorous = 3% DV
  • Vitamin B3 (Niacin) = 3% DV
  • Iron = 1% DV
  • Trace amounts of: vitamin E, copper, potassium, manganese, selenium, zinc, choline

Oranges & SIBO

I find that most people with SIBO do fine (actually great!) with oranges.

But there are certainly others (myself included) who struggle with them a bit.  When I am feeling my best, I can get away with having them.  But if I try to eat oranges (or certain other fruits) when my symptoms are not as well controlled, I will end up with a zit on my face within about 12 hours.  No fun.

So I don’t tend to make oranges part of my daily routine, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t.  It means that you should pay attention to your response.  They may quite possibly be one of your safest foods. Psst…and check out all its lovely nutrients above!

Author: Riley Wimminger

Ingredients
  • 1 medium orange (navel oranges work well because they are juicy)

  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin seed protein powder
  • 4 ice cubes

Notes
If you want really good smoothies, you will want to invest in a nice blender such as a Vitamix that can really pulverize the ingredients and create a smooth texture.

Allergies & Insomnia: Is There a Connection? In ho Allergies & Insomnia: Is There a Connection? In honor of May being National Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month, I decided to share about this connection I’ve noticed in case it helps anyone else. I included my story with allergies and insomnia, what the research says, and some things that have helped me (Neti pot and Allegra are only the tip of the iceberg). Go to BridgetownNutrition.com or find the link to my blog in my profile.

NATURAL REMEDIES FOR HEADACHES AND MIGRAINES 🌱B NATURAL REMEDIES FOR HEADACHES AND MIGRAINES 🌱Between my husband and I, we have nearly four decades of experience suffering from headaches and migraines. BUT, we get them far less frequently than we used to. And dietary, lifestyle, and natural remedies are the reason. So I wrote up my top, research-based natural remedies for relief and prevention. Link is in my bio. #headache #migraine #naturalremedies

I feel so grateful to have this incredibly patient, funny, smart, and caring man in my life. 

Since this account is all about having hope in your struggles with “chronic” illness, I want to share part of my personal journey with you. In my early to mid 20s, I was trying to date while suffering from severe food intolerances and chronic digestive, skin, and other health issues. It felt incredibly frustrating and discouraging at times because I encountered people who looked down upon me as a future partner because of my health issues. 

But not this guy. He saw the strength I gained from my struggles. 

I knew he was a keeper when I developed my first UTI of our relationship (I was SUPER prone to them). While I rested and tried to recover naturally, he sat in a spot where he could see me and kept glancing over to check on me between cracking open each cashew. And after that, he wanted to learn everything he could to make sure he never contributed to me getting one again. Good news: I haven’t needed a course of antibiotics since then!

I just want you to know that good people are out there. Don’t feel hopeless. Be patient and true to yourself. Chronic illness can be one of life’s greatest teachers if you let it be.
