Low FODMAP Kiwi Lime Lemonade

Prep time10 min

Cook time5 min

This bright, fizzy drink is everything you want on a warm day — tart from fresh lemon and lime juice, subtly sweet from a maple syrup simple syrup, and layered with the tropical, almost honeyed flavor of ripe kiwi. The combination of citrus and kiwi gives it a complexity that feels way more special than your average lemonade. Each serving works out to one kiwi and just a tablespoon of maple syrup, keeping portions comfortably within low FODMAP guidelines so you can sip without second-guessing. Blending and straining the kiwi pulls out all that gorgeous green juice while leaving the fibrous pulp behind, which means a smooth, beautifully colored base every time. A final top-up of chilled sparkling water adds just enough effervescence to make it feel like a proper treat. It comes together in well under 30 minutes and serves four, making it an easy crowd-pleaser for anyone navigating a sensitive gut.
