Low FODMAP Acai Bowl Ingredients

For the Smoothie Base:

2 tbsp acai powder (ensure it does not contain inulin)
40g raspberries (about 15)
33g baby spinach (about 1/2 cup)
25g almond milk (about 1/3 cup), or other low FODMAP milk
1 tsp maple syrup (optional)

For the Toppings:

35g firm banana, sliced (about 1/3)
38g kiwi fruit, sliced (about 1/2)
1 tsp desiccated coconut
1 tsp hemp seeds (or chia seeds)
1 tsp natural peanut butter (optional)

How To Make Low FODMAP Acai Bowl

Blend the base: Add the acai powder, raspberries, spinach, almond milk, and optional maple syrup to a blender. Blend until smooth. If it’s too thick, add a little more milk, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a thick, creamy consistency.
Serve and decorate: Pour the smoothie mixture into a bowl. Arrange the sliced banana, kiwi fruit, desiccated coconut, hemp seeds, and peanut butter on top. Serve immediately.

Recipe Tips

Use a Firm Banana: A firm, slightly green banana has lower FODMAP levels than a ripe, spotty one. This is very important for keeping the recipe gut-friendly.
Check Your Acai Powder: Carefully read the label on your acai powder. Many brands add inulin (a high-FODMAP fiber) or other fillers. Make sure you use one that is 100% acai.
Start with Less Milk: It is easy to add more milk but impossible to take it out. Start with the 1/3 cup to get that thick, spoonable texture. Add more only if your blender is struggling.
Blend Spinach First: If you don’t have a high-powered blender, blend the spinach and milk together first. Once that is smooth, add the rest of the base ingredients. This stops any leafy chunks in your bowl.

What To Serve Your Acai Bowl

This acai bowl is a complete and filling meal on its own. It’s perfect for a quick breakfast or a light post-workout snack. You don’t need to add much else, as the toppings provide healthy fats, fiber, and texture. For a cozy touch, you can serve it with a cup of peppermint tea, which is also known to be soothing for digestion.

How To Store Acai Bowl Leftovers

Refrigerate: This acai bowl is best eaten immediately. The smoothie base will melt and the toppings will get soggy. It is not recommended to refrigerate leftovers.
Freeze: You can freeze the smoothie base (without toppings) in an ice cube tray. When you’re ready to eat, pop out the frozen cubes and re-blend them with a fresh splash of milk.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does “Low FODMAP” mean? FODMAPs are types of carbohydrates that can be hard for some people to digest. A low FODMAP diet helps people with sensitive guts (like in IBS) find relief. This recipe uses only ingredients that are low in FODMAPs in the specific serving sizes listed.
Can I use frozen fruit? Yes, using frozen raspberries will make the bowl even thicker and creamier, almost like sorbet. You can also use frozen spinach.
Can I use a different milk? Absolutely. Just make sure it is a low FODMAP milk. Good choices include rice milk or macadamia milk. Check your portion sizes if you use oat milk, as larger servings can be high FODMAP.
Why can I only use 1/3 of a banana? Ripe bananas are high in FODMAPs. However, firm (unripe) bananas are low FODMAP in a 35g serving, which is about 1/3 of a medium banana. Sticking to this portion size keeps the entire bowl safe.
