Low FODMAP Pineapple Mint Spritz
Fresh pineapple, bright lime, and cool mint come together in a blended and strained spritz that tastes like a tropical vacation in a glass. The sparkling water gives it a satisfying fizz, while a touch of maple syrup rounds out the tartness without tipping into overly sweet territory. Managing digestive sensitivities doesn't mean giving up fun, festive drinks — this one is built entirely from ingredients that play nicely with a low FODMAP approach, with portion sizes carefully kept in check. Pineapple can be tricky in larger amounts, but at roughly three-quarters of a cup per serving, it stays well within a comfortable range. Straining the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve gives the final drink a clean, smooth texture with no fibrous bits to worry about. It comes together in just a few minutes and makes four servings, so it's equally at home at a weekend brunch or a casual weeknight dinner. Garnish with a lime slice and a sprig of mint and it looks as good as it tastes.
