AIP Friendly Berry Banana Smoothie
Rich, creamy, and bursting with fruit flavor, this smoothie is the kind of breakfast or snack that feels indulgent without a single ingredient that would raise a red flag on a healing protocol. Full-fat coconut milk gives it a luscious, almost milkshake-like texture that makes it genuinely satisfying rather than just a quick sip-and-go. The frozen berries and ripe banana bring natural sweetness, so the tablespoon of honey is really just a finishing touch you can dial up or down to taste. Fresh grated ginger adds a subtle warmth that pairs beautifully with the Ceylon cinnamon — both of which are well-regarded for their gentle, supportive properties. Everything here is free from grains, dairy, legumes, and nightshades, which means it fits neatly into the elimination phase without any substitutions or workarounds. It blends up in under two minutes and makes two generous servings, so it's just as easy to share as it is to make ahead for yourself.
