2 servings
- 1 medium apple, cored and roughly chopped (skin on)
- 1 medium ripe banana, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
- Ā½ cup water
- Ā½ tsp ground ceylon cinnamon
Ingredient noteInterstitial cystitis treats warming spices like cinnamon as test-your-tolerance because they can irritate a sensitive bladder, but the small amount in this recipe (~1/4 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid cinnamon, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- Ā½ tsp fresh ginger, peeled and grated
Ingredient noteFresh ginger is generally considered bladder-friendly, and the small amount in this recipe (~1/4 tsp per serving) is likely fine for many people with interstitial cystitis. If you prefer to always avoid fresh ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
