Low FODMAP Kiwi Lime Agua Fresca
Bright, tropical, and impossibly refreshing, this blended kiwi and lime drink is the kind of thing you want waiting in the fridge on a hot afternoon. Each serving uses two medium kiwis, which lands right within the safe threshold according to Monash research, and maple syrup steps in as the sweetener since it stays low FODMAP at the amount used here. The result is a lightly sweet, citrus-forward agua fresca that feels indulgent without any of the gut-trigger ingredients hiding in store-bought fruit drinks or flavored beverages. Blending the kiwi smooth and then straining it through a fine-mesh sieve gives you a silky, pulp-free liquid that looks gorgeous poured over ice. A pinch of salt might sound unexpected, but it quietly rounds out the sweetness and makes the lime pop even more. This makes four servings, so it's just as good for a solo week of afternoon sipping as it is for sharing with friends who have no dietary restrictions at all — they won't know the difference.
