Can you take collagen on a low FODMAP diet?

Yes. Collagen peptides contain protein, not fermentable carbs. Measure 10–20 grams per collagen smoothie and pair it with low FODMAP fruits and lactose-free milk to keep the blend gentle.

Can smoothies be low in FODMAP?

Yes. Build your smoothie with low FODMAP fruit like strawberries, use lactose-free or suitable plant milk, and keep add-ins measured. Your collagen smoothie stays calm when you respect serving sizes.

What protein shake is low FODMAP?

A collagen smoothie often works well because collagen contains no lactose and very low to no FODMAPs. If you try other proteins, read labels and test a small portion first to confirm comfort.

Can I drink protein shakes with IBS?

Many people can, especially when they choose low FODMAP ingredients and moderate portions. Start with a small collagen smoothie, note how you feel, then adjust fruit, milk, and add-ins as needed.

Description

This collagen smoothie started as a way to soothe my stomach after long coding days. I blend low FODMAP fruit, lactose-free milk, and collagen for a creamy sip that keeps my energy steady. I test tiny tweaks vanilla for warmth, strawberries for brightness, and chia for texture until the blend tastes like home.

Ingredients

Scale

1 cup lactose-free milk (or suitable plant milk)
10–20 g collagen peptides
1 cup frozen strawberries (or ¾ cup fresh + ice)
1 tsp maple syrup (optional)
1–2 tsp chia seeds (start with 1 tsp)
¼ tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

2–4 ice cubes, as needed

Instructions

Add milk to the blender jar.
Sprinkle in collagen and vanilla.
Add strawberries, chia, salt, and ice.
Blend 30–45 seconds until creamy.
Taste, then adjust with maple syrup, more ice, or a splash of milk.

Notes

For strict low FODMAP, keep chia to 1 tsp and measure blueberries if you swap fruit.

Add 5 g extra collagen for more protein.

Use freezer smoothie packs for busy mornings.

For a cocoa twist, add 1 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder.
