If a general smoothie book made you feel worse, there's a reason.

Berries, kale, chia, oats, avocado, whole apples the ingredients that make an ordinary smoothie "healthy" are the same ones that appear on published avoid lists for gastroparesis. Almost every standard recipe is built from them.

This book isn't. Every drink here is low in fat, low in fiber, small in volume, and made from the fruits and liquids most often named as well tolerated. Fiber and fat are printed on every single recipe, because how much of each you tolerate is individual and nobody should have to guess.

Inside this book:

50 recipes across six chapters Everyday Gentle Smoothies, Higher-Calorie for Keeping Weight On, Higher-Protein, Flare-Day Sippers, Settling and Hydrating Blends, and Lower-Sugar

Full estimated nutrition on every recipe calories, protein, carbs with sugars listed separately, fat, fiber and sodium

Built to a one-cup portion, matching the small-and-often pattern that professional guidance recommends

Why liquids are easier, and the one important exception where fat in liquid form is often tolerated when solid fat is not

An ingredient chapter that names what's in and what's deliberately left out including the added fibers hiding in protein powders, and why avocado appears nowhere in the book

Technique that matters here blend for a full sixty seconds, strain when in doubt, let the froth settle, thin it until it pours

Chapters for specific situations if you have diabetes, if you're losing weight, if nothing is staying down

When to get help, plus a stepwise way back after a flare

Three day-long meal patterns a steadier day, a harder day, and a day when you're trying to keep weight on

Start with recipe 1. Ripe banana and milk, one cup, sipped slowly.
